MESSAGE FROM OUR HEADTEACHER

Welcome to our school website. Braunston is a happy, caring school with fabulous children and hardworking, dynamic staff. In our last OFSTED inspection (November 2022) we were graded as good in every category.

Our school vision is to ensure that all of our children are ‘learning for life in all its fullness’. This means that we have high expectations in all areas of the curriculum and work hard to provide the children with a variety of experiences that promote excitement and wonder through trips, visitors to school and activities both within our local community and further afield.

At Braunston we believe that the relationship between home and school is one of partnership, support and co-operation so that every child has the opportunity to develop to their full potential academically, socially, physically and spiritually.

We are part of the Peterborough Diocese Education Trust and our foundation as a Christian school is very important to us. Everything we do in school is firmly rooted in the values of Relationships; Reconciliation; Responsibility; Respect and Reverence; Resilience and Reflection. Our children learn these values.

They also learn to respect and understand the values of other religions and those without faith. This is reflected in our last Diocese inspection (February 2017) when we were graded as outstanding in every category.

The best way to find out more about our caring, nurturing school is to come and visit us. We are happy to show you around and encourage you to talk to us and ask any questions you may have. We look forward to meeting you.

Lianna Willis
Headteacher

Welcome to Jamila Class

In Year 3 we begin our journey into KS2, we build on all the work that the children have completed in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

Staff
Mrs Phipps is the class teacher and Year 3 are supported by Mrs Smith, Mrs Brand and Mrs Allinson. Please feel free to contact any of us with queries; we enjoy working in partnership with parents and carers and our amazing pupils for the best outcomes for your children.

Curriculum
In Jamila Class we are lucky to teach a variety of interesting topics, more detail about these can be found in the long term map document which provides a brief overview of the year. For more detail each term, our topic webs show the learning in specific subjects. Our favourite topics are those about The Stone Age to Iron Age and the Ancient Egyptians.

Reading
Reading continues to play an important part of the Year 3 curriculum and we work hard to instill a love of reading into all the children through individual reading and whole class reading activities. Although your child will be starting to read more independently, it is still really valuable for them to read daily to an adult at home, regardless of their ability. This valuable time can be an opportunity to tackle new words, discuss new word meanings, and enjoy discussing new texts together. We love hearing your children read in school which takes place daily/weekly/fortnightly depending on the needs of your child. We write comments in their reading record, and enjoy seeing your comments too.

Spellings
Within school time, we will be focusing on a range of different rules and patterns. Our spelling quiz will take place on Wednesdays on a mixture of common exception words, the week's spelling pattern and patterns from previous weeks. Spelling will be sent home every Thursday to practise, along with the homework. We are striving for children to become confident spellers, who apply their knowledge in to all areas of writing.

Mathematics Homework
Times table work continues from where the children were in Year 2.This year, your child will have a login for Timetables Rock Stars. We will be using this programme in school to promote enjoyment around learning timestables. We encourage children to use this at home too, to develop and extend their knowldge further. Maths homework is sent out every Thursday based around previous teaching or timestables; this homework gives you and your child an opportunity to practise and share the strategies that they are learning within school.

Routine of the Day

Here are a few items that your child should have in school every day:

Book bag.
Water bottles - as we are a ‘Healthy School,’ we only allow water in the water bottles.
Coat- with the British weather being highly unpredictable, a coat needs to be in school everyday.
School reading book
A healthy snack for break time.
PE kit - this should be worn to school on our PE days.

Everyone in Year 3 looks forward to providing your child with the best opportunities and seeing them continue their journey through Key Stage 2.
