Welcome to Birch's Class Page
Year 3 consists of three classes: 3SC (Mr Coulston's Class), 3RP (Mrs Patel's Class) and 3AS (Miss Shah's Class). Here you will find new, weekly updates and information about the fantastic learning that has taken place in Year 3. Please feel free to take advantage of suggested links that will help support your children with consolidating their learning at home. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with a member of our Year 3 team mentioned above if you have any queries.
Learning together, growing together
Our core values of Endurance, Justice, Friendship, Compassion and Peace underpin all that we do.
Autumn Class Timetable
Our P.E. days are as follows:
Mondays: Outdoor P.E. Thursdays: Indoor P.E.
Please ensure that children arrive to school wearing their P.E. kit: a plan white T-shirt, black shorts or jogging bottoms, plain black trainers and a plain black hooded jacket if required.
All jewellery must be taken off as it is not permitted as per health and safety guidelines.
Keep your children fit with various short active sessions.

Times Table Rock Stars
All children must learn their multiplication tables. We use Times Table Rock Stars for a fun, interactive way to support rapid recall of these. All children have a login and are encouraged to use it as often to not only get onto our in-class leaderboards but to become fluent in their times tables.

Reading
In Year 3, we celebrate the love of reading.
Every Thursday, children will visit the library and have a chance to select a book of their choice from a range of beautiful new books. The children will have the opportunity to change their library books if they want to on the following Thursday providing that their library book has been brought in to be returned.
Children have the opportunity to read books from the school library and class library.
A reading book will be sent home every week along with a school library book.
In addition to the existing wonderful reading opportunities in school, children will also be given log in details to access ‘Reading Plus’. This website allows children to access texts set at their level of reading prior to taking a quiz to asses their retrieval and inference skills.

Spelling
All Birch classes will be sent spelling to take home and practise every two weeks. Alongside these words, there is also a bank of ‘orange words’ from the curriculum that Year 3 children are expected to be able to spell.
