Class 3 - Miss Walsh

ST JOHN'S SCHOOL VALUES:

Love; Friendship; Kindness; Honesty; Forgiveness

Welcome to Class 3!

P.E. Days

Wednesday – Outdoor P.E.
This half term, the children will be developing their tennis skills. Please ensure they bring their full outdoor kit every Wednesday. This should include: a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts/joggers and trainers.

Friday – Indoor P.E.
On Fridays, the children will take part in topic-themed gymnastics lessons. Indoor kits should be kept in school in a drawstring bag and include: a white t-shirt, black or navy shorts and plimsolls.

For health and safety reasons, earrings should not be worn during P.E. lessons. We kindly ask that any earrings are removed on P.E. days - either before school or prior to the lesson. Please note that staff are unable to assist with the removal of jewellery. If earrings cannot be removed, we ask that plasters are provided so children can cover them during P.E. sessions.

Music – Wider Opportunities

This year, Class 3 will be learning to play the ukulele! We are very lucky to have Mrs Hallam, a music specialist from Blackpool Music Services, leading our weekly tuition.

Home Learning Expectations

In Class 3, we place a strong emphasis on reading. We encourage children to:

•  Read aloud to an adult at least three times per week
• Spend time reading independently
• Explore a wide range of texts to foster a real love of reading

We will be encouraging the children to broaden their horizons by engaging with new authors, tackling different genres and engaging with varied text types including novels, comics, diaries, newspapers and websites.
