Welcome to 3GB

LSA: Mrs Squires
Welcome to our class page for the Summer term 2024.
This term we are learning the fiction text 'The BFG'. So far, huge handprints have appeared in the classroom. We were trying to work out who they could belong to! We will use this story as an inspiration for character description, making recipes for giants, and maybe even tasting some!
In maths we will continue to understand division before moving onto fractions, measure and shape. We will continue to learn our times tables and apply our knowledge to reasoning and problem solving.
In history we will look at Ancient China and in geography, we will explore and compare counties. In Science we will investigate forces, light and shadows, as well as Christianity and Sikhism in RE. We will continue to look at how to answer retrieval questions in our reading lessons.
Important information
Homework
Homework will be given out every Friday. Children will have 10 spellings to learn and our word of the week which the children will learn about in class. They will also have a mixture of multiplication and division questions depending on which times table olympic level they are working on. Please help them to learn practice these daily. Here are some websites that may help you:

There will be a times table test and spelling test every Thursday.
PE kits
The children do not need to bring PE kits to school. On Wednesdays and Fridays the children can come to school in their PE kits with their school jumper over the top. When it is colder, they are welcome to wear their joggers. Please ensure children wear appropriate footwear on these days too.
Reading books
We use accelerated reader books for our reading. The children will complete a star reader test in school which will give us the children's book band level. Once they have read the book, they complete a comprehension quiz in class on their book. If they score above 80% they can move up to the next level. Children will read in school daily and quiz in school so it is really important their reading books are in everyday.
