Welcome to Year Three.

I hope that you have had a wonderful break over the summer.    This year we have lots of exciting projects and new learning to explore.   Our first topic is Rainforests.  We will be exploring the rainforest of of the world and finding out about the animals and different layers.  In English we will be looking at three books called 'The Spider and the Fly' as well as the traditional fable of ' The Hare and the Tortoise' and a fable about the rainforest called  ' The Kapok Tree'.   The curriculum map for this half term is below on the class page.

Some reminders for the new term.

PE Kits must be in school every day.  Please bring them on the first day of term and they will be returned on the last day of half term.  Please include appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear as children will be undertaking outdoor PE and the key sport is rugby this half term.  PE is on  Monday and Thursday 

Reading records will given out with appropriate books in the first few days.  The school expectation is that every child should read at home at least three times per week but five times per week is encouraged.  Please sign the record to indicate that you child has read. Books can be changed when finished. 

Homework will be given out on Thursday and returned on Tuesday morning.  You will receive a homework book and protective plastic folder once term commences.  

Water bottles.  Every child needs their own water bottle.  They can refill their bottle in the classroom. Please make sure that it suitable for taking outside as well and not part of their packed lunch.

Naming of Belongings.  Please ensure that all your child's clothing and belongings are clearly labelled.  It is very hard to return lost property when it is not named.

If you have any worries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me via the office and I will phone you back or make an appointment as soon as I can.   

Looking forward to seeing you on Monday 6th September
