Mrs Owens is the teacher in Class Three and we are lucky to have Mrs Jackson and Mrs Macaulay working with us too.
Welcome back to the new school year. A warm welcome to all the new children joining us from our Manley site.
English
In English, our work will be based on the book 'Stone Age Boy' by Satosi Kitamura. This fits in well with our history topic :Stone Age to Iron Age'.
Reading - all children will be reading a book with their peers in class. We will be practising skills such as comprehension, inference, retrieval and developing vocabulary.

Years Three and Four are the years when children need to become fluent on all times table facts to 12 x 12.
In Year Three, children need to know multiplication facts for the 2, 5,10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables by heart.
In Year Four, children need to know these, plus facts for the 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 times tables

Wider Curriculum
In history lessons we will be finding out about life in the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We will be starting our topic with a trip to Delamere Forest to spend the day with Talan, who will give us a hands on introduction to life in the Stone Age.
We will do PE twice a week, with one session on a Wednesday with Mr McKerlie, our PE coach. Our other session will be swimming sessions at Christleton High School on Monday mornings.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PE KIT IS IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY.
In RE sessions, we will be learning about Hinduism and asking questions about what Hindu's think about God.
