Class 3
Welcome to the Summer Term!
We have lots planned for the next few weeks and hopefully some sunny weather to enjoy some learning outdoors!
Our topic this term is Our World and Travel. We'll be finding out about continents and oceans, explorers and different styles of music across the world. In science, we'll be learning more about plants - how seeds are dispersed and the best conditions for plants to grow.

Homework
Times Tables - We will continue to go through times tables at school, both working out straightforward questions and more complex word problems. Any support that you can give your child in learning these at home would be appreciated. Thank you.
Reading – Please read, read, read!!... we will endeavour to change and hear the children read as much as possible, this will often be done through guided reading sessions as the children get older and more competent and through independent reading sessions. We also provide lots of reading opportunities throughout the school day within our lesson. Please ensure your child understands what they are reading by asking comprehension questions and asking your child to recall specific words and phrases the author has used. We also encourage the children to choose both a fiction and a non-fiction book, to ensure they read a variety of texts. Keep an eye out for your child's reading targets and guided reading focuses, these may assist you with comprehension questioning and focuses at home.
Other homework – At parents evening, a few parents asked what they could do at home to help their children. Here are some ideas. You don't have to do them, but they would all help your child, if and when you have time!
