Class 3

In Class 3, children aged 5+ at the beginning of September will expand on the grounding received in Class 2 and are taught in two parallel classes.

History and Geography are added to the curriculum and children are encouraged to read at home as often as possible. Handwriting skills are refined and tables begin to be learnt in readiness for the more advanced maths work in the Abacus scheme. Many children will join the Pre-Prep Choir in Class 3 and will perform at School events as well as at more public events such as the Sudbury Music Festival.

Children continue to visit places of interest on their termly 'Out and Abouts' and, in the Summer Term, they are able to camp out in tents in the School grounds following their outing. For many children this will be their first experience of camping and it is an exciting experience for all, standing them in good stead for the times when they will camp out with the Prep School in the Derbyshire Dales or climb Ben Nevis or Snowdon.
