Welcome to Class 3!

Hello, my name is Miss Hill and I am the class 3 teacher. We are a mixed ability upper KS2 class with 10 pupils. We are supported by Mr Burquest, who will be leading our interventions, supporting and motivating us to become the best learners we can be.

To contact me please email a.hill2@hope-school.co.uk

We believe that the most important element to our class is that everyone is safe and feels safe, and that we are feeling happy, this will allow us to learn in the best possible way.

We do this by accepting each other and everybody's feelings, supporting each other and celebrating our own and others challenges and achievements.

Our core value this term is Gratitude.

This term our core value is gratitude. Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what we receiver, whether tangible or intangible.  For pupils to achieve a comprehensive, well-rounded education, showing gratitude is vital. Gratitude is necessary between pupils and other members of staff, to create friendships and build relationships. With gratitude, children and adults are able to acknowledge the goodness in their lives. Class 3 have been taking part in a range of activities to promote an attitude of gratitude. On launch day the children were able to take part in drama, sports, cooking, art based activities and even handle animals.

Each term we will focus on another core value that supports us in becoming well rounded, life-long learners.

Our Learning

Reading

Even after children learn to read by themselves, it's still important for you to read aloud together. By reading stories that are on their interest level, but beyond their reading level, you can stretch young readers' understanding and motivate them to improve their skills. We are more than happy to supply families with books to read at home. 

Our goal is to motivate children to want to read so they will practice reading independently and, thus, become fluent readers.

Intervention

All pupils receive interventions which are based on individualised learning plans. These support and adhere to their individual needs in both curricular and non curricular activities. Interventions ensure that all children are embraced into our school and are given opportunities to build relationships and progress in their learning. 

All pupils will also receive sensory and mindfulness sessions, every morning to help settle pupils into the school day. 

Homework

A homework planner (please see below) will be given out at the beginning of each term so that you can see what is expected during that time. Pupils can pick any activity to complete each week as homework, in any order. 

PE

Miss Chloe will be returning to Hope School this term. Class 3 will be attending aerial ninjas sessions once a week to learn new moves and improve their core strength and balance. 

The children will also be receiving an additional PE lesson each week. During this lesson the children will be give opportunities to build their hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills and team work abilities.
