Oak - Year 3 2026 - 2027

Welcome to Oak Class 

Welcome to Oak Class! This half term, we will be doing Grammar Place Value in English, following the Grammarsaurus unit of work. This will give us a good chance to properly extend our grammar and spelling skills and apply this to our own writing. 

Our humanities topic is 'The United Kingdom'. We will be recapping the countries and capital cities of the UK, learning how to read and use a compass, understanding what a county is and exploring how the UK has changed over time. 

Forest School

Forest School will take place every other week starting on Wednesday 9th September.  Please see the calendar for future dates.

This is a brilliant outdoor learning session that the children look forward to and enjoy - prepare for MUD! Children must come into school in their forest school clothing and bring their wellies/walking boots in a separate bag.

P.E.

Our P.E. lessons take place every Friday afternoon. Please ensure that your child has their P.E. kit in school for this.

Helping your child at home

Reading: Please read regularly at home with your child and our school expectation is to read a minimum of 4 times weekly. All children will have a school reading book, however there is nothing stopping you and your child from finding other interesting texts to read together e.g. articles in the local newspaper, non-fiction books about a hobby or even comic books.

Maths:Times tables! Chant them, test each other in the car, do them backwards, find the corresponding division facts and make up games. Please help your child to know their times tables inside out. We use 'TTRS' in school but another useful game is 'Hit the Button'.

Getting in Touch

If at any point throughout the year you have anything you wish to speak to me about please do not hesitate to get in touch.
