Miss Robinson - Class 3
Welcome to Class 3!
2020-2021
Welcome to Class 3 with Miss Robinson. Our class page includes lots of useful information about all of the things that we get Up2 in our busy and exciting classroom.
In Class 3 we work alongside Mrs Weaver as our teaching partner. Mrs Weaver will be working in Class 3 every morning and will be covering my out of class time on a Thursday afternoon.
This summer term our topic is Ancient Egyptians and we are looking forward to learning all about the achievements of this ancient civilisation. We will learn about how and where the ancient Egyptians lived, what was important to the daily lives of ancient Egyptians, who Tutankhamun was and how mummies were made. We will also learn about how Egyptian people used hieroglyphs to communicate and compare the powers of different gods. As part of our science curriculum, we will be learning about the different parts of plants and the jobs they do, and animals including humans, where we will learn about importance of the right type and amount of nutrition as well as the functions of skeletons and muscles. In DT we will be learning about where and how a variety of ingredients are grown, planting seeds, and yielding produce that can be used to cook with. In art we will be exploring the work of Louise Bourgeois, use textiles to create textural art, and construct wire sculptures in response to ‘Maman’.

Useful information:
- Our PE lessons are on Monday afternoons. Please make sure PE kits are in school all week in case of extra opportunities. You may wish to include some warmer clothing for our outdoor sessions, particularly when the weather is colder. PE kits should include socks, a pair of trainers for outdoor games and plimsolls for indoor games. Please make sure that all items of clothing are named.
- Spellings will be tested every Friday. 10 new spellings will be sent home every Friday to be learned for the following Friday. Children should know how to spell the words and be able to use them in a sentence. This is very important and will also be tested. All pupils have log in details for Spelling Frame; this is a fantastic online tool to help pupils to practise their weekly spellings. Please see link below.
- Times tables will be tested every Friday. Children will be given 3 minutes to answer 24 questions using their multiplication and division facts. This forms part of a tracker as children work through awards. Each week they will focus on a different times table up to 12x12. If children achieve 24/24, they will move onto a different test. All pupils have log in details for Times Tables Rock Stars; this is a fantastic online tool to help pupils to practise their weekly times tables. Please see link below.
- The Year 3 Reading Challenge challenges children to read at least 3 times or more to an adult outside of school each week. Reading records are collected in every Friday. If children have read 3 times or more, they can give themselves a tick on our class reading chart. If they have read at least 3 times a week, every week, all half-term, they will receive a special reward.
- Creative Homework should be completed once every half term. This will always be themed around our current learning topic. Parents and carers are invited to our classroom to celebrate the children's wonderful homework once every term.
- The cloakroom noticeboard is full of useful information including the week's spellings, timetables, dinner menus and up-to-date letters.
