Class 3
Class 3 is located in the roof of the main school building. Taught by Miss Grant, years 5 and 6 enjoy a range of learning with a focus on independence.
Homework
Set homework relates to the specific topics studied during the week. This approach aims to help reinforce key concepts and refine skills; in addition we sometimes ask the class to perform investigation work to encourage independent research. Parental assistance is welcomed, as this often improves confidence and self-esteem until total independence is reached. It is the aim of Class 3 to produce children who see homework as a complementary method of learning, especially in reference to the requirements that secondary schools have in this area.
Homework is given out to the class on a Friday and needs to be handed back in by the following Thursday.
Timetable Info
The timetable often changes from term to term, taking into account the specific needs of the children, scheduling of support staff, extra-curricular opportunities and whole school considerations. The latest timetable is displayed on the Class noticeboard. For the Autumn term this is important in ensuring that children are prepared:
- PE days are Tuesday and Thursday
- Homework is given out on a Friday
- Homework is due in on a Thursday
- Springboard homework is given out by the member of staff running the individual sessions (if on Springboard)
Curriculum
Due to the mixed-aged class, we follow a two-year cycle of teaching. It is constantly under review and altered to suit the children, external factors, curriculum changes and other influences relevant to learning and enhancing opportunities.
Please see the latest Curriculum Policy under policies on the Governance page.
