Class 8 is a Year 3 class. It is taught by Miss Wilkinson and supported by Miss Charlton.

Hello and welcome to Class 8’s class page! I look forward to welcoming you into our class. The jump to KS2 is always a big one, but we are going to have a fantastic year together!

School day for KS2 children commences at 8:30am and finishes at 3:15pm.

The entrance for Year 3 pupils is the top gate (Hindmarch Drive) Wait there with your child until a member of Year 3 staff comes to collect the children at 8:30am. If your child is attending the Breakfast Club, you may drop them off before 8:30am, and they will be brought to class by a member of staff after breakfast.

During pick up you can collect your child from our classroom fire door. Gates will open at 3:10pm for pickup at 3:15pm. If you need to collect your child any earlier you must report to the main office.

KS2 pupils are entitled to milk, either free or paid, however paid milk MUST be paid on Parent Pay. Please see the school office if you need help using Parent Pay.

Reading is a hugely important part of our curriculum, and we ask that you aim to read with your child at least 3 times per week (and sign their pink reading diaries).

Children who have read to an adult 3 times in a week will receive a sticker or stamp on their own personal reading bookmark. Once they fill their bookmark they will receive a special reward!

P.E. for Class 7 in the Autumn term will be on a Friday afternoon where we will have the wonderful Miss Skiggs for dance.

On P.E. Days, children will need the correct P.E. kit. This should be kept on their pegs for the half term in case of any timetable changes:

• • • Plain white t-shirt (with or without school logo)
    • Navy or black jogging bottoms/leggings or shorts
    • Black or white trainers
    • School hoodie or plain navy hooded top (optional)

In Year 3 we will complete daily Core Maths sessions, often based around mental arithmetic, times tables and number facts. Children are able to practise these skills at home using Times Table Rockstars if they wish.

If your child needs a new log in for this, please get in touch.

Our topics for the Autumn term are as follows:

Literacy: Journey by Aaron Becker and George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl
Power Maths: Place Value and Addition and Subtraction
Dimensions: That’s All Folks! (Animation) and May the Force Be with You (Forces and Magnets)
R.E.: ‘How do Hindus worship?’ and ‘How and why is Advent important to Christians?’
French: A New Start and The Calendar and Celebrations
P.E.: Dance and Rugby
PSHE: Safety

Please see our Curriculum pages for each year group’s long term planning.

This year we will be continuing to Class Dojo school-wide as a means of maintaining parent communication. I will be posting regular updates to our Class Story throughout the year as well as reminders for parents and pupils.

I’m looking forward to a wonderful year!
