Dear Parents and carers,
Welcome back to Year 3 and Kangaroo Class!
We hope that you have all had a restful and enjoyable Easter holiday spent together.
In each term, your child will be following exciting and engaging topics which are as follows:
Autumn term – The Stone Age... and beyond
Spring term – Mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes
Summer term – Ancient Egypt
This term our topic is Ancient Egypt.
The children will spend time learning about Egyptians and the incredible time in history full of hieroglyphics, Gods and important people who created history.
Reading
The children should be reading their book every evening for ten minutes. We are happy for them to read the schools book or home books. Please ensure your child records what they have read in their reading journal. We have been keeping a class chart and the children receive a tick when they have read four times in a week. The children who read four times a week will receive extra play time on a Friday afternoon.
Homework
The children should be reading four times per week, playing on TTRS four times a week and completing any homework sent home. Homework will be sent home on a Thursday and is due on a Wednesday. This will also be accessible on google classroom and can be handed in that way. Children will also receive new spellings on a Friday to learn for the following Friday. If your child misses the Friday, they can get new spellings when they return to school.
Uniform
Please could you ensure that your child’s uniform, particularly jumpers, is all appropriately named, even if you simply write their initials on the label this will allow us to reunite them with their rightful owners!
P.E. Kits
Please ensure your child has a P.E. kit in school. PE days will be Monday and Wednesday. Please make sure there are spare jumpers and/or long bottoms as we still go outdoors in the colder weathers.
Please do email me with any class related questions or information.
Kind regards,
Miss Knowles
