Class 3
Welcome to Class 3's Page!
We are a fantastic, fun and friendly bunch of Year 3 and Year 4 children, who love learning and work extremely hard to be the very best that we can be! Our class teacher is Miss Mayo and our terrific teaching assistants who work with us throughout the week are: Mrs Brittain-Gelder, Mrs Groves, Mrs Reason and Mrs Sutton.
On this page, you will be able to find out about all of the exciting things that we have been getting up to as well as being able to access useful information and dates.

Useful Information
PE in C3 takes place on a Thursday afternoon. Children should bring their kits in a bag to change into. More information about kits can be found here: Uniform and Kits
Class 3 take part in Swimming lessons for 9 weeks per year at Bramcote Leisure Centre. Bramcote's guidance can be read here: Swimming Guidance
C3 have a spelling test every Wednesday afternoon. We understand that some spellings can be tricky to learn so it is important to practice regularly and look out for the patterns that can help you! When children reach 150 correct spellings, they will receive an exciting treat! The Year 3/4 Statutory Spelling list can be accessed here: Spellings
Homework
Weekly spelling lists can be viewed on our Class Dojo App.
Creative Homework is given out half-termly and can also be viewed on Class Dojo.
Terrific Times Tables
Every June, Year 4 children will be sitting a new Times Tables test. We have daily practice in Class 3 but it is encouraged that children also practice at home. There are many fantastic websites and apps to use but we love using 'Hit the Button' in Class 3, which can be accessed here: Hit the Button
A practise of the Multiplication Tables Check can be accessed here: MTC Check Practise
Reading Rocks
Reading is a regular and enjoyable part of our day in Class 3 and it is fantastic to see so many children reading at home too! There is an expectation in KS2 that children are reading at least three times per week, signed by an adult at home.
All children have reading diaries - for every read at home (signed by a grown-up), children will receive a tick. When children have collected 15 and 30 stars, they will be rewarded!
