Class 3 - Miss Riddell & Mrs Trencher
Friday 8th September - We've had a really good couple of weeks. The children have settled in brilliantly.
We had a lovely afternoon today making bird feeders outside (in our Forest School area) as part of our Science topic for this half term. The children worked really well together, helping each other with the different parts of the task.
They have also come home today with a login and password for Times Tables Rock Stars. The children in KS2 have been using this website to work on their times tables for a while and Class 3 are keen to give it a try. We will have a good look at it in school over the next couple of weeks, but if they would like to give it a try at home before then, then please do. That would be great.

Autumn term 2023
Hope you've all had a fantastic summer. We're looking forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 29th August and hearing all about what you've been up to! We have lots planned for this term. The timetable and plans are attached below and some "Knowledge Organisers", which give more detail about what the children will be learning.
Our PE days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please could the children continue to come in their PE kits on those days, as well as bringing in a water bottle. Please could bottles, uniform and PE kit be named, if possible. It really helps us!
We'll have an "Author in the Spotlight" each half term, starting with Lauren Child, who wrote the the Charlie and Lola stories. If the children have any stories written by her that they would like to share, we would love to see them. If you could write their names in the books, that would be great to avoid any confusion! Thank you.
We also have a class Reading Scrapbook, which one child will take home each Friday and return by the following Thursday. They choose a favourite book and include some writing about why they like it, draw or print out some pictures from it, create a collage - anything that shows us why they like the book. They can be as creative as they like! The book can be any genre - fiction, non-fiction, poetry. It doesn't matter. The idea is to get the children interested in and enthusiastic about reading!
We will keep you updated with things that are going on and ways to help your children, but if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask, either send an email to our class address (Class3@wymeswold.leics.sch.uk) or catch us at the gate in the mornings.
