Useful Information

The new homework format is explained on the sheet that is stuck into the homework book.

Mathletics, home reading and times table practice should be completed weekly though. If you have any questions please ask at any time.

Trainers/pumps for their PE lessons which will now take place on a Monday. However, please ensure children always have kit in school in case there is a change of day or an extra session. PE is part of the curriculum and children are expected to take part in all sessions unless ill.

Reading books and reading records should be brought to school everyday. Please try to listen to your child at home as frequently as possible. The children also each have a Bug Club user ID and password allocated to them where they can read books online.

Please make sure your child's school clothes and equipment is clearly labelled to avoid loss. This includes jumpers, cardigans, PE kits, lunch bags and purses or any pencil cases brought into school. We would be grateful if you could provide an old shirt or tshirt for your children to use to cover their uniform during Art lessons.

What's happening in the Summer Term?

This half term, Year 3 will be reading a beautiful book called 'Where My Wellies Take Me.'This book is an made up of an anthology of poems chosen by Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare. It also tells the story of a young girl called Pippa and her walk she takes through her home village and the surrounding countryside. This book really inspires a love of poetry and creativity in the children and it is beautifully illustrated on every page.

The children will visit a farm and have a welly walk of our own. They will have the chance to sample some of the crops growing in the fields and look at how farming has changed over the ages.
