Oak - Year 3 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Oak Class 

Our class is made up of 24 amazing Year 3 Children. Our teacher is Miss Pimblott and we are supported by either Mrs Molyneux or Mrs Johnstone.

This half term we will be exploring the text 'Rhythm of the Rain' by Grahame Baker-Smith. The children will be writing a setting narrative and an information leaflet. Our humanities topic is 'Water, Weather and Climate', we will be learning about the water cycle, different types of rainfall and famous rivers from the UK and around the world. Please see the curriculum overview for the Autumn Term (under the curriculum tab) for a learning over view for each subject.

It is always fantastic to see what the children are getting up to at home, so please share any exciting home experiences or milestones with us!

Forest School

Forest School will take place every other week starting on Wednesday 17th 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 Monday afternoon. Please ensure that your child has their P.E. kit in school all week.

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 via email (npimblott@smallwood.cheshire.sch.uk) or ClassDojo.
