Marconi Class Y3

Welcome to Marconi class!
 
Our class is a team - we are innovators, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century!
 Marconi Class is one of our Y3 classes. We form part of The Innovators Stage. We work closely with our partner Y3 Class, Berners-Lee and our Y4 Classes Brunel and Trevithick.
 
Our class is named after Guglielmo Marconi who was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer. He is famous for his invention of the radio! He established that a transmission can be sent across the water. This was first proved in 1901 in Poldhu, Cornwall!
 
 Guglielmo Marconi is our first historical focus as we start Year 3.
 
Today's learners, tomorrow's leaders

The Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar 

This term, we are focusing on our punctuation and Grammar. We spend the whole half term breaking down writing to allow us to understand where and when to apply the correct punctuation.

VIPERS 

We use VIPERS to cover the reading content domains across KS1 and KS2. In VIPERS, we will be exploring 'Clean Up' this half term.

Maths 

Within maths, children will focus on place value. 

In Number Fact sessions, children will build their rapid recall of the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. They will begin to develop fluency for 3, 4 and 8 times tables.

PE 

Our PE days will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This year, we would like children to wear their PE kit to school on these days. This half-term will consist of mindfulness and ball skills.

Reading and Handwriting 

We devote time daily to independent reading and handwriting, as these are vitally important skills which help us across all curriculum areas. Watch this space for examples of high-quality reading and writing, coming soon! 

Homework 

Homework is set weekly, and this is published on Marconi Class Dojo on a Friday.  Paper copies are also available next to the class door. There will also be weekly spellings set through Spelling Shed, which are also available on Class Dojo. Daily reading and regular practice of times tables using Times Table Rockstars is also part of our homework expectation. In addition to this, a grid is also shared, which includes topic-based activities you may wish to do at home to enhance and extend their learning.
