Welcome to Fletcher Class

We are the class teachers, Mrs Whittle and Mrs Lodge. We love teaching Year 3. We are excited for an amazing year filled with lots of fun topics and learning opportunities. It will be a year of Egyptians, the Stone age and much much more! This year we have named our class after the Author Tom Fletcher. He has written some great books such as The ChristmaSaurus and The Danger Gang. In our class, we also have Miss Shiel. She is brilliant and will be on hand to support us in the class.Keep checking what we have been up to!
 

 

 

Fletcher Summer 2024

Year 3 have had a fantastic day visiting the Manchester museum. We loved exploring everything on show in the museum and even got to handle some real ancient Egyptian artefacts in our workshop.  The class were excellent representatives of our school! Mrs Lodge and Mrs Whittle were very proud of them.

 

Year 3 - Stone age
During our stone age topic, Year 3 created carvings out of soap of pictures, animals and other stone age related to the topic. Children found it a challenge and had to adapt their ideas. 
 
Year 3 - Science - How plants grow
Year 3 have loved learning about the process involved in growing plants. The children planted their own bean seeds, some of the children had fantastic results at the end of the experiment. 
We also investigated how nutrients are transported within the plant.
 
Year 3 - Geography
Children in Year 3 have been learning about the countries in Europe. To increase our knowledge children went on a fact hunt finding out answers to various European countries based questions. The children loved to go hunting!

Create and Design Day 13.03.2024 - Today Year 3 took part in an exciting project with the Royal Opera House.Using a design brief we designed and created our own set designs around the story of “The Magic Flute”

Times Tables

Year 3 are working hard on their times tables this half term. For our homework we designed posters to help us to recall our facts! They looked great.

Fluency Projects

This week Year 3 have started a fluency project in our reading sessions. We have loved evaluating and supporting each other to make our reading better. Tomorrow we will perform our texts for each other.

Back to School

We are already getting through lots of work at Scissett even though we are only in Week 2.  Last week Fletcher class were busy representing and partitioning numbers in Maths and in English they have been exploring the poem 'The Sound Collector'.  They are now planning their own poems called 'The Colour collection' and have been exploring the school grounds finding different colours to inspire their work.  

 

Bills New Frock

Year 3 have had a great start to the year. They have been busy exploring the book “Bills New Frock” and have loved creating poetry and traditional tales so far. In Maths we have worked on place value, addition and subtraction. We have also done some preparation for a class assembly that we cannot wait to share with everyone.

Year 3 Art Lessons

Year 3 have been exploring textile artists in our art lessons. Over the last few weeks we’ve developed our own designs to paint onto fabric. Next we are going to add stitching for effect.
