Class Teacher - Mrs Grimshaw

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Pennock

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to school after our half term break. I hope you had a restful, peaceful week with your families. 

Here is some information about this term. Remember to check out our School Twitter and  Facebook  feed or Class Dojo for more up to date information.

Subjects

In RE, we are learning about the different sections of our church service and what each part signifies. As we are now in Lent, we will be focussing on the preparations for Easter and Holy Week. 

We have started our new novel, The Iron Man, by Ted Hughes, in English where we will be creating settings and characters based around the same plot for our own stories. In Maths, we are moving on to measurement and revisiting fractions. 

We will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 4th March and STEM week on the 15th March.

P.E  

P.E. will take place on a  Tuesday and Wednesday  and your child is able to come to school wearing their PE/sports kits. They will need trainers and school jumper or cardigan.  

Water bottles   

Please ensure your child has a  named  water bottle in school. They will be able to fill up their water bottle as required throughout the school day.   

Homework  

Homework and spellings will be sent out on a Friday and due in the following Friday.

Reading  

Reading is of high  importance  so we all need to listen to your child read as often as possible. The children will be able to change their books after they have finished and a parent has signed their reading record.   

All weather  

Please  could I remind all parents to send a coat into school every day. The weather is  unpredictable  and we are trying to keep the children playing outside as much as possible.   

If your child is off school due to Covid reasons, please access the Year  3  CV Home Learning page on the website where activities will be uploaded. Please upload their work to their own class dojo portfolio.  

Any question or problems, please message me via class dojo and I will do my best to respond rapidly.  

Thank you,  

Mrs Grimshaw 

Spellings are tested weekly. Here are the Year 3 and 4 words.

Times tables are really important and children are expected to know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 times tables by the end of Year 3. Please practise these with your child as often as possible.

Children are encouraged to behave well in class through consistent praise, stickers, dojos, raffle tickets, certificates and prizes.
