Welcome to 3 Kiwi   

My name is Mrs King and I am the class teacher.

Our topic for term 1 is local History. We will be learning lots about the local area and how our school and Crowborough has changed over the years. We will receive a visit from the Crowborough Mayor talking to us about how the role of Mayor has changed in Crowborough over the years too.

Our topic for term 2 is How do images move? We will be linking our computing, history and DT to look at the history of animation and find ways we can make animation ourselves through work on the computers and trying to recreate some of the first animations. We will then look at how they have changed throughout history. 

In Term 3 we will be looking at the Stone age. This will link in to our English, History, Science and Art Science. Please find more information on our learning letter and overview below.

In Term 4 we will be looking at the Topic Farm to Fork. Our writing and reading will link with this via the book Charlotte's Webb and we will be looking at soup making in our  DT. Please find more information below on our learning letters and learning overviews.

In Term 5 we will be exploring our local area of the High Weald and what makes it an area of outstanding natural beauty. We will be learning about dragons in our reading and writing and linking this in with our art and using water colours to create landscape and dragon masterpieces. 

Our topic for Term 6 is "One hundred acre wood" and we will be linking English, Geography and DT together. We will also visit the Ashdown Forest to learn more about things we will read about and develop our den building skills. 

Find a book you love and get lost in some fantastic stories!   

Remember that if you read 4 times a week, you get a token which is put into a class box with the possibility of winning a cash prize at the end of term! If you read more than 4 times, you can get extra tokens!   

We no longer use Purple Mash but please use the following as your child loves them! :)

Please also practice your times tables on Times Table Rockstars and regularly visit My Maths to consolidate learning from class.  Start with x2, x5 and x10 tables and be secure with these and then move onto x3, x4, x6, x7, x8, x9, x11 and x12.                            

All children now have a Nessy login which gives children access to a wide range of educational games.  

Don't forget to regularly use EdShed as well as this will have such an impact on reading confidence. 

As we go through the year, please enjoy looking at this gallery to see what we have been learning at school:
