Class 3 Webpage 2021!!!
Autumn Term 2021-We are back!!
Welcome to our Class 3 Homepage. We are back, raring to go and looking forward to getting our teeth into full classes, mixing with others, eating in the dinner hall, seeing our siblings, working in groups and generally living our 'carefree' lifestyle. So, what's new? Well, Class 3 now have myself - Mr Roy as their teacher. We have two wonderful teaching assistants by name of Mrs Olive and Mrs Plant and on a Monday afternoon when I get a bit of planning time, Mrs Paxton leads the learning. I have a whole world of knowledge to explore and look forward to taking all the children on the journey of discovery. If you have any questions or just want some reassurance, feel free to approach any of us in the playground or write a note in your child's reading record.
Mr Roy 
Below are some links to our timetable and and overview of the year. Obviously, things will change and it might not be reflected in these documents, but at least you can see the general process and progress the children will be going through over the year. If any of you have expertise or ideas in any of these areas, please let us know, it would be great to get some paretns in to share their skills.
Covid-19 and isolation
If for any reason, your child is staying at home but feels up to doing some work I have added some stand alone tasks for your child to complete. They are aimed at the level of year 3 and 4 and should keep them engaged for a couple of days. Feel free to share them with us on their return and any feedback would be appreciated. If your child is isolating for a lengthy period, we will endeavour to mantain their education inline with what is happening in class - as best we can. In the unfortunate event that your child actually has to be away from school due to the virus and is well enough to wor, I will send out a zoom invite to allow your child to check in with me and I will upload some work to DB Primary which is in line with what the children are covering in class. Stay well!!
Science - Zoolab
We had a great visit todat from Zoolab. Rob brought in a whole host of animals for the children to touch, hold and learn about their lifestyles and habitats.
We even had a live zoom from one of our pupils that happened to be in isolation! The children asked some super questions but also showed off some impressive knowledge about all the different animals. Great fun and some great memories
English
We have started the year reading Ted Hughes' 'The Ironman' and Phillip Pullman's 'The Firework-Maker's Daughter'. The children have been hooked straight away and they are producing some lovely imaginative pieces of work.. I am sure you will hear about some of the discussions we have when they come home....
Reading Area
We also have a new reading area in the classroom where the children can lose themselves in a cosy corner and read a book when they havea spare bit of time. It has proved pretty popular so far and hope it continues to be a busy little place.
Birstwith - local area study
We ventured out around Birstwith today, taking in the local landmarks and making a mental map of where things are. The children loved walking around the village and they even had time to spend some quiet time in the church.
