Happy New Year! We hope you all had a restful and wonderful break!

Timetable:

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

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 every other week

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.
  • Library – every Tuesday. It is your child’s responsibility to change their book if they have finished it.    

Topics:

  • Feel the force – In this topic, we will be exploring the different forces that affect us for example gravity and buoyancy.
  • ICT: Effectively Online – In this topic, we will be looking at using the internet effectively and safely.
  • Island Life – In this topic, we will be learning about islands across the world. We will be focusing on the human and physical geography associated with islands.

 

Homework  

  • There will be new spellings set every Monday. These will be tested the following Thursday. Regular spelling shed challenges will also be set to help the children learn their spellings.
  • Please ensure you are supporting your child with learning their times tables. It is vitally important that they know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8s by the end of Year 3. They can use TTRockstars to support them with this. Please get in touch if you would like additional resources sent home to help.
  • We expect every child to be reading at least 5 times a week at home. Children can complete an Accelerated Reader quiz upon completing their book. https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/1922487

Class Dojo 

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!

Thank you for your support. Please contact Mr Taylor on Class Dojo is you have any questions or queries. We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Kind regards,  

The Year 3 Team
