Dear Parents and Carers of Year 3 (Kangaroos),
Welcome to Year 3! I have really enjoyed getting to know your children over the past couple of weeks and I am excited for the learning that we have ahead of us this year. Our topic this term is The Stone Age (Prehistory). Please see our topic web for more information on what we will be learning and how you can support your child at home.
PE
Indoor PE will be on Thursdays and outdoor PE will be on Fridays. Please ensure PE kits are in school everyday and that children have coats and outdoor shoes!
Homework - Homework will be set on Classdojo. It does not take long to set yourself up on it.
Reading - Please encourage your children to read at home for at least 15 minutes every day. This can be any book from non-fiction, biographies, comics or fiction books. Please make sure they are writing in their reading record and please sign it (even if they have read independently). Their reading record should stay in their bag so they can write in it - in and out of school.
Children earn house points for demonstrating that they are recording their reading.
We are really looking forward to the term ahead. Please speak to us or email the office if you have any questions.
Many thanks,
Mr Callard and the team Year 3 / Kangaroos
Homework, Tuesday 23rd September
The children have been sent home with a fresh Reading Record today. Please read with your child and make a brief note in the Record to say what you read, and if it is pitched to high or low. We have not yet been able to send them home with a book from school today... Apologies! These will come soon.
Alongside this, we have been learning (along with suggested activities):
Maths: place value to 1000 (you may want to practice flexible partitioning of numbers to 1000)
English: procedural texts linked to our text (you may want to write a recipe to follow in the kitchen)
History: the change from hunter-gatherers to farmers (can you create a stone age farm image/sculpture?)
Spellings: -sion endings (inclusion, explosion etc).
With all best wishes,
Mr Callard
