Welcome to Year 3
SPELLINGS
As of today (18th March) we are starting our Year 3 Spelling Bee. Information about this is in your child's English homework folder.
Reading
All the children will now have a reading book, these are to be brought into school every day. Please continue to listen to your child read regularly, discuss the book and sign their reading record.
Homework
Maths - sent home on Wednesday, return by the following Monday.
English - sent home Friday, return by the following Wednesday.
P.E
Our days for P.E are Monday and Friday. The children are now swimming on a Friday so they will need to bring their swimming kit on this day. Please make sure your child comes to school in their school P.E kit on Monday and uniform on a Friday. This must consist of a white t-shirt, black shorts and their school jumper. We will be outside for P.E in most weather conditions so your child can wear black jogging bottoms if needed.
SAFESEARCH
We have been thinking about internet safety in class.
