Year 3 Class Page

Spring Term 2

Welcome to Year 3!  Our main topic this term is The Normans and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for supporting your children to produce some truly amazing Norman castles and fact-files during the half-term holiday.  Parent and carer involvement is fundamental in helping children to learn.  To complement our cross-curricular topic we will be reading 'Norman the Norman from Normandy' as part of our Literacy learning as well as enjoying a selection of non-fiction books on castles, the year 1066 and The Battle of Hastings.  In Science, our focus is Nutrition and the Human Skeleton and in RE we will be focussing on the Easter Story.

Homework will continue to be set on Google Classroom each Friday with the expectation that it is completed by the following Wednesday.  Your support with this is greatly appreciated.  Every child has a 'Mathletics' and 'Reading Eggs' login and password, please encourage your child to access these programmes every day.  Children can earn certificates each week for the participation and achievement in 'Good Work' assemblies on Fridays!  Login information can be found in children's reading records.

Book bags continue to be sent home every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Please support your child with their reading by listening to them read (and / or encouraging them to read to a sibling) and filling in their reading records with a comment about the book that they are reading.

Please note:  Our PE days have changed to Thursday and Friday (pm).  Please ensure that PE kits (black bottoms, black trainers and a white t-shirt) are brought to school in a bag, ready to change into.

Important Dates:

• Tuesday 4th March - Reading Cafe - we look forward to seeing you there!
• Friday 7th March - Class visit to The Tower of London

Many thanks for your continued support.  If you do have any questions about your child's learning or well-being, please make an appointment to speak with one of the Year 3 team.

If you would like more information about the curriculum SPSM follows, please ask your child's class teacher.  Thank you.
