ST JOHN'S SCHOOL VALUES:
Love; Friendship; Kindness; Honesty; Forgiveness
Welcome to Class 3!
We are so excited for the year ahead, with lots of interesting activities inside and outside of school. The Stone Age, Ancient Egypt and the Amazon rainforest are just some of the fascinating topics you will be learning about.
In the classroom this year, there will be:
Mrs Peach (Class Teacher)
Mrs Jackson (Teaching Assistant)
On Wednesdays, Class 3 will be learning how to play recorders with a specialist music teacher. Class 3 will also be learning how to speak Spanish now that they are in KS2.
Our PE days are Wednesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor). You need to keep your indoor kit in school and bring in your outdoor kit into school on a Friday. If your child wears earrings, please make sure they are taken out or provided with plasters on PE days. Those children doing after school activities should bring in a PE kit to get changed into on that day.
We kindly ask adults to continue reading with their children at home for a minimum of 3 times a week and sign your child's reading record.
Thank you.
Mrs Peach
Class 3 Teacher

Class 3 Topic Overview
Class 3 Vocabulary Mat
Year 3 - Whitescar Caves - 4th December 2024
Year 3 will be visiting White Scar Caves on Wednesday 4th December 2024.
White Scar Cave enjoys a magnificent setting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Young visitors are introduced to the science and wonder of the subterranean world. The cave walk covers one mile, ensuring that learning is combined with exercise! There are underground streams and waterfalls, flowstone, prehistoric mud pools, and the huge Battlefield Cavern adorned with thousands of stalactites. Pupils gain access to an extensive and significant underground system.
CHILDREN IN NEED (15.11.24)
We helped raise money for BBC Children in Need by taking part in a non-uniform day and decorating a giant Pudsey with silver coin donations! As a school, we raised in excess of £360 in support of the charity!
R.E VISIT TO THE SYNAGOGUE (OCTOBER 2024)
Class 3 visited the local Synagogue as part of our R.E Harvest topic this half-term. We gained more knowledge around how Jewish people celebrate harvest! We found out lots of interesting facts, tried on kippas and looked at the Torah scroll.
GEOGRAPHY TRAWDEN VISIT (SEPTEMBER 2024)
Class 3 enjoyed their trip to Trawden in Lancashire as part of our geography topic for this half-term.
We visited the local primary school, Trawden Forest Primary School and met the year 3 children. Their playground was lots of fun!
The class then had a look around the village of Trawden and compared it to Blackpool.
We noticed lots of differences but also some similarities!
FIRST SCIENCE VISIT TO STANLEY PARK (SEPTEMBER 2024)
Class 3 loved their first science visit to Stanley Park. We looked at the signs of Autumn and collected leaves that had fallen on the ground. The children were very excited when they found some hidden fairy houses!
