Summer Term 2025

Welcome back, we hope you have had a wonderful Easter break and managed to take some time to enjoy the sunshine! We are excited for the term ahead with a packed curriculum. This term our main topic will be Victorians and we will linking that theme with a consideration of global poverty and our Guided Reader, Street Child.

Our class page on the website will keep you up to date with information, what’s happening in Class 3 and give you a feel for our fabulous children and class.

Class 3 will be taught by Mrs Dobinson (Mondays and Tuesdays), Mr Critchley (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) and we have the wonderful Miss Ness as our teaching assistant.

Spellings – Children will have spelling lessons on a Thursday and tests on a Friday. Children have logins to Spelling Shed where they can practice their spellings both at school and home.

Reading – Children are responsible for changing their book once completed. In class we independently read every morning before lessons start and we expect the children to read at home, a mixture of shared and independent is great. A shared approach to completing reading diaries is encouraged – children are more than able to record their reading and you can write in their diaries too. Children will be rewarded for regular reading at home as it has the biggest impact on all aspects of their education. Please help with this at home, thank you.

Homework – Guided reading will take place with Mrs Dobinson on a Tuesday (please note the change). Homework for Class 3 (Maths and Guided Reading) will be set on a Tuesday and Friday and collected on the corresponding days the following week. Homework is completed on Showbie, children have logins for this app and use it at school.

PE – We will have cricket on a Monday and swimming lessons later in the term - we will have plenty of additional opportunities to get outside so ensure kits are in each day please. We are also entering competition season -we are very proud of our team sports and hope that all the children will have a chance to compete in Culgaith colours this term.

Guitar – Please ensure that children remember to bring their guitars to school on a Monday – guitar lessons are a great opportunity and it is very difficult to teach when children forget to bring them. Much appreciated.

If you have any concerns or questions about school or your child, please contact us directly on one of the following email addresses and we will do our best to support you.
