Green Class 2024 - 2025
Miss Munro
Green Class Teacher
Welcome to Green Class!
Welcome to Summer Term! The children’s final term in Year 3, would you believe?! Time really does fly in Green Class and we can’t wait to get started on another jam-packed term of learning and fun. We hope you have all had a lovely, relaxing Easter break with your families. We are excited to welcome you and the children back to school and have lots of exciting learning opportunities to look forward to this term.
Over the next few weeks, we will begin exploring our new text, ‘Leon and The Place Between’. Leon finds himself being carried on a magic carpet into another world where, rather like Alice, he discovers a white rabbit, which he takes back to show his friends that anyone can find magic, as long as they believe in it…
In maths, we will be starting off with fractions before moving on to our 'money' and 'time' units. In science, we’ll begin by investigating plants and the requirements needed for growth. We will also explore the lifecycle of flowering plants and learn about the process of pollination.
Our topic this term focuses on ‘Rainforests’ as we identify different rainforests across the world, learn about different species which live in each layer of a rainforest and we will explore and learn about deforestation and the impact it is having on our world and its inhabitants. We also have an exciting trip to Chester Zoo to look forward to (more information to follow soon).
We can’t wait to get started!
Please see further details of curriculum coverage on the Medium Term Plan attached at the bottom of this webpage.
As always, any questions or concerns, please do get in touch.
Let’s go Greens!
Helpful reminders:
Snacks – Please send healthy, nut-free snacks in a small, named container or with your child’s name written on the snack. If your child would like toast and juice at playtime, please send in money in a named envelope/purse.
Reading - We will read with your child every day as part of a whole class guided reading session. Reading is such a vital part of your child’s learning so please continue to read at home with your child; 10 minutes a day really does make all the difference. Please record this in their reading diary.
Homework – Each week, I will share some key learning questions which you can discuss with your child to help them reflect on the week’s lessons. I will also share relevant website links and learning materials as required via the weekly email.
PE - PE this term will be on Mondays and Thursdays. Please continue to send your child into school wearing PE kit on those days. I will detail any changes to PE days on the weekly Friday newsletter.
Forest School - Green Class will begin their Forest School sessions this term. These will take place on Wednesdays. Please ensure your child wears appropriate clothing and footwear. Wellies/outdoor footwear to be brought in a separate bag please.
If you have any queries or concerns then please come and see Miss Munro, or any of the lovely Green Team staff. You can also record messages for us in your child’s reading journal or alternatively you can contact me via email: amunro@peartreeprimary.co.uk
In advance, we would like to thank all parents and guardians for your support, enthusiasm and most importantly, thank you for trusting us with your amazing children. Let’s get started on our final term in Year 3!
