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! As a class, Guglielmo Marconi is our first historical focus as we start Year 3.

Today's learners, tomorrow's leaders

Spring 2

Plants

How can we encourage pollinators and why is this so important?

The Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar

This term we are focusing on our knowledge and use of punctuation and grammar within our writing. We will focus on the use of nouns and verbs.

VIPERS

We use VIPERS to cover the reading content domains across KS1 and KS2. In VIPERS, we will be exploring 'Iron Man' by Ted Hughes for the entire half term. 

Maths

Within maths, children will continue to develop their multiplication and division skills in mathematics. They will learn to multiply and divide by 3, 4 and 8.

In Number Fact sessions, children will build their rapid recall of the 2, 3, 4 and 8 times tables.

Our PE days will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays  and this year we would like children to bring their PE kit in, ready to change at school. This half-term will consist of basketball and gymnastics!

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 half-termly, using the platform Google Classroom or providing paper copies. There will also be weekly spellings set through Spelling Shed, which are also available on Google Classroom. Daily reading and regular practice of times tables using Times Table Rockstars is also part of our homework expectation.
