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 is rewarded with the 'Reading Ambassador' badge and certificate.

Homework

Homework will be given out every Friday. One side will have English work and the other maths.

The maths homework will cover an aspect the children have been learning in the week or a timetables activity.

The English will be a reading comprehension or a grammar and punctuation activity. 

Spellings will also be given out each week 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 Tuesday and Thursday.

Due to 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 are to 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 back.

HISTORY

Educational Visit to Bishop's Wood

Friday 25th October

 We will be having an action packed day, filled with fun activities which will take us back to the Stone Age. We will become hunter gatherers, throwing (pretend) spears at (pretend) animals and searched in the woods for suitable, natural food to eat. With our leaders Greg and Rachel, we will make sparks to try and light a piece of cotton wool. We will use willow branches to make fences to keep animals contained or to make a camp. 

Cultural Celebration Day:

On the 18th of October, Year 3 attended an African Dance workshop and created a dance routine to the song 'Waka Waka - This Time for Africa' by Shakira. Have a look at some of the photos below of the children giving it a go!
