Welcome to Garnet Class' page 2025-2026! 

We are very excited about our new learning in Year 3! Garnet Class is taught by Miss Hussain and supported by Mrs Hawthorne. 

Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Please come to school in your PE kit, which consists of a red t-shirt, black shorts/black jogging bottoms, black trainers and your red school jumper/cardigan if desired. We are fortunate to have a Luton Town coach coming in on Fridays to teach us Tag Rugby this half term.  Please ensure that your child arrives at school in a PE kit on both days. 

Reading is incredibly important and we are trying hard to further develop our reading skills. Please bring your reading books into school each day. Children are expected to read 5 times a week for 15 minutes, please sign your child's reading record. These will be collected on the same day every week, which will be a Friday. If your child doesn’t have five reads signed by an adult at home, this may result in them missing break time and staying in to read. Some of us will be completing accelerated reader quizzes on our books to develop our understanding of what we have read. On the reverse of the children's you will find your child's account details and accelerated reader log in if your child is quizzing. 

 Homework is set on Atom Learning, a website that you can access at home. Logins are found on the back of the reading logs and homework is set once a week. One week we will focus on Maths, and the next week we will focus on English. Please complete this at home, if your child doesn't have access to a device, the library can be used in school on Monday lunchtimes. 

We have an exciting topic 'People of the World', we will be learning about Ancient Egypt as well as Rocks and Fossils in Science. We will be looking at the different rocks and their properties, as well as how fossils are formed. We will even be looking at a famous individual who discovered many fossils, her name is Mary Anning. In History, we will be looking Ancient Egypt, this is an exciting topic where we will explore what life was life at the time and what resources they used during this time. Please refer to our curriculum map for Year 3 to see more of our topics. We cannot wait to share our wonderful learning during our oracy endpoint, the date is to be confirmed. 

To add to the excitement of being in Year 3, we will be having an Ancient Egyptian workshop and a visit to the library. These dates are to be confirmed. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. 

Miss Hussain.
