Welcome to Base 3’s Class Page.

We are a Year 3 class taught by Mrs Maddock.

We are supported by the fabulous Mrs LLoyd and Mr Phillips.

SUMMER Term 2025.

This term, we are are exploring Volcanoes and Earthquakes around the world!

Reading.

This term we are reading The Firework Maker’s Daughter. The children love how  an active volcano is mentioned in the story, Mount Merapi. 

We love to read in Base 3! Reading comments should be completed in the children’s reading diaries.  If the children have read at least four times, then this is rewarded with a raffle ticket for our ‘Big Book Draw’ every Friday. The lucky winner to be drawn out of the Year 3 & 4 box will receive a book token for the vending machine. Children should make a comment each time they read, using the question starters in their diaries to help them to write comments. Parents and carers are also allowed to comment in diaries if they wish to.

Homework.

Homework is handed out every Friday and books need to be brought back into school by the following Thursday. As part of the homework, children will be given a list of 8-10 spelling words, reading and alternate Maths and English work. We practise our spellings every morning ready to be tested on a Friday morning.

PE.

Our PE sessions for the Summer term will be taught every Wednesday and Thursday. Please come to school in your PE kit on these days. We will be exploring our rounders, cricket and athletics skills.

No jewellery is allowed during PE sessions. Earrings will need to be removed or covered with tape.

Lost Things!

We all lose things from time to time. Help us to reunite your child with their items by making sure things have their name in them!
