Welcome to Year 3! We look forward to seeing you all on Monday morning. Please ensure your child enters through the blue gate (as normal) at 8.40am. They then need to make their way into their classroom.

At the end of the day (3.25pm) please collect your child from the courtyard (as normal). Please enter via the reception gates. We will dismiss the children from the courtyard doors.

Timetable:

  • Outdoor PE is on a Thursday
  • Indoor PE is on a Friday

Children must come to school in their PE kit on PE days. Please dress your child appropriately for the weather. PE kit is a red or white t-shirt, black/red hoodie, black shorts or jogging bottoms and trainers (plimsolls for inside). Branded items should be kept minimal.

  • Forest School is on a Thursday (every other week). Mr Taylor’s class will be going first on Thursday 26th September. Mrs Russel’s class will be going on Thursday 3rd October.

Please ensure forest school kit and wellies are in school. This kit is also used by the children at break and lunchtime if it is muddy and they are on the field. If children do not have full kit, they will not be able to attend Forest School. Please ensure it is also named.

  • Home/School Diaries are checked weekly by teachers. Please ensure these are signed and reading at home has been recorded.   
  • We will be going to the library on a Tuesday

Topics:

  • Brainwave – How to be an effective learner
  • Shake it – Changes of state and making milkshakes!
  • How Humans Work – All about the human body
  • Feel the Force! – Forces of the natural world
  • ICT: Effectively Online – How to use the internet safely and effectively
  • Island Life – The human and physical features associated with islands around the world
  • All Aboard – The history of the British railway system and the different types of train
  • Scavengers and Settlers – The earliest settlers in our country

 

Homework  

Please ensure your child is accessing TTRockstars regularly. It is very important that they are practising their 2, 3, 5, 10 times tables. We will be beginning to work on the 4- and 8-times tables so they can also practice these. https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/11320

We expect every child to be reading at least 5 times a week at home and for their home school diary to be signed.

Class Dojo 

Please make sure you connect to Class Dojo if you haven’t done so already. We endeavour to post at least once a week something we have been learning about in school. We would really love to hear from you, if your children talk about it at home or any further learning you undertake! Don’t forget, you can see all the Dojo points your child has been awarded (and what for) by looking at reports!

 

Please speak to us at the end of the day if there’s anything you wish to discuss.

Kind regards,  

Mr Taylor and Mrs Russell
