The book that we will be reading as a class is Roald Dahl’s classic, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. Children will love reading about all of the different characters who are lucky enough to win a golden ticket to go to the famous chocolate factory! We will be basing lots of our literacy around the book in the autumn term.
Y3 have a spelling test each Wednesday. Throughout the year, they will be learning the Y3/4 statutory spellings as well as words which follow a particular spelling rule.
