Welcome to Year 3 and Kangaroos class! We hope you have had an enjoyable, restful summer and are ready for a new, exciting term. This year, we will be learning about the following topics: 

 

Autumn Term: The Stone Age... and Beyond

Spring Term: Mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes

Summer Term: Ancient Egypt

 

This term, our topic is The Stone Age... And Beyond, and children will be learning about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages and what life was like during that time. 

 

Reading

Children should be reading every night for at least 10 minutes and recording it in their yellow reading logs. Please ensure you place both the reading book and reading record in your child’s bag so that they can be checked at school. 

 

Homework

Children will be given homework on a Tuesday. This will include a set of spelling words that they need to learn, a reading comprehension and a maths task.  

 

PE

Our PE days are on Tuesday (indoor PE) and Thursday (outdoor PE). Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing and shoes for PE.
