Welcome to Class 3O!
Autumn 1
Welcome to Class 3O! My name is Mrs O'Hare and I will be working with the Year 3 children this year. I will be supported by Mrs Saunders and Mrs Strutz throughout the year. Year 3 is a big step for the children as they move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 and this year the children are encouraged to gain independence by organising themselves and taking responsibility for their own learning.
Teachers:
Class Teacher - Mrs. O'Hare
Teaching Assistants - Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Strutz

Click here to see what the children in 3O will be learning about this year and to learn more about our learning this term take a look at our newsletter at the top of the page.
This will be sent home on a regular basis through Google Classroom and is intended to consolidate learning that has happened in the classroom.
The various activities include Spellings and Mental Maths. Spellings will be tested on a Monday.
You can also help your child by listening to them read for 15 minutes, 3 times a week which will not only not only expand your child’s vocabulary and ‘ideas bank’ for story writing, but also help them with their spelling! Reading books will be changed on a Monday.
Your child will also need your help learning their multiplication tables in preparation for the Times Table Challenge in class on a Friday morning. Useful strategies include: chanting in order, writing them out in 2 minutes, responding quickly to questions out of order. The Times Table Rockstars website can be used to consolidate this.
The children also need to practice their termly KIRF. This term the children are recalling numebr bonds to 100 in multiples of 5 and 10. Please use the letter that was sent home to support you with activities.
PE is on a Wednesday morning and the children need to come to school wearing their kit. Please ensure that this is appropriate for the weather.
Due to the current conditions, we are unsure if/when swimming will start this year.

I hope your child quickly settles into life in the juniors! Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to come and have a chat after school or make an appointment at the office.
