IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Reading Books
We aim to read and change books with the children every week. Please ensure that your child has their reading book and journal in school every day to support their progress in reading.
Reading Ambassadors
Every time your child reads at home, please record it in their reading records. This is classed as a 'read'.
After 25 reads, your child will be rewarded with the bronze badge and certificate.
After 50 it's silver.
After 75 it's gold.
100 reads are rewarded with the 'Reading Ambassador' badge and certificate.
Homework
Homework will be given out every Friday.
The homework will cover a timetables activity.
Spellings will also be given out every Thursday and will be tested the following week.
Reading should be a daily routine, with adults sharing books alongside children reading at their own level for at least 15 minutes each day. Please sign your child's reading record so they earn their Reading Ambassador awards.
PE kits
P.E Lessons will be on a Wednesday and Thursdays.
For Health and Safety reasons, children who do not come to school with the correct PE kit will not be able to participate in PE lessons.
Children must have a red top, black shorts or joggers and black trainers (not pumps). Please do not send your child in with sports tops or patterned joggers.
If they do not have the correct kit mentioned above, children should come to school in their school uniform with their PE kit in a bag, and they can then get changed for PE before the lesson.
Children must not wear earrings for P.E lessons and long hair must be tied
Cultural Celebration with Morgan and Kamarley
Today in school, the children were excited to work with Morgan and Kamarley from Preme Production. During their workshop, Year 3 talked about how important music is to any celebration. They brainstormed words to describe how they felt about being part of Woodgate and Morgan helped them to develop a melody. They used their words to create lyrics. Towards the end of the afternoon, Year3 joined Year1 and Year2 in the hall to record their part of the Woodgate song. All the children were very excited.
Our Trip to Bishops Wood
Year 3 had an exciting adventure at Bishops Wood Outdoor Education Centre, where they stepped back in time to explore life during the Stone Age. They became nomads, dismantling their temporary dwellings and moving them to new pastures.
We also created our own cave paintings, using charcoal, clay and chalk to record our activities.
Year 3 have been getting creative with limericks! From exploring rhymes to writing their own funny five-line poems, the children have been having fun playing with words and bringing their poetry to life!
School Grounds Week:
During School Grounds Week, Year 3 completed many exciting activities. We made our scarecrows; The Red Lady of Paviland and an Archaeologist. We painted and decorated some tyres to bring some colour into our outdoor areas. We had an outdoor maths lesson to practice our mental maths. We had a workshop with Preme Productions where we created fun outdoor games. 3SW have practised their sewing skills as we have made a colourful bunting to decorate our outside area. 3W have shown their artistic skills with a range of autumn activities. 3W have also painted the fence in the playground.
Year 3 have been getting creative by making our own puppets from newspaper and retelling the story of 'Thumbelina'.
