There will be PE in the afternoon, so on this occasion, can all children bring in their PE kits that they can change into for Mr Manly's PE session at lunchtime and will come home in their PE kits.
Many Thanks,
Mr Leonard
Dear Parents,
This week's homework task is attached below. All children across the school have the same task. There won't be any maths or English this week.
Please could I ask all children to list their top 5 most favourite books to read as I am planning on making a display in class and won't to make it books that the children enjoy reading. This is a display I won't to add to as the children read more books they enjoy throughout the rest of the school year. Can they bring in a written list next week.
Please can I ask everyone to practice timetables over the Easter break (x2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10).
Next week is RE week with activities arranged everyday (mornings and afternoons) so there will be no PE on Thursday. I will also be off on Friday, so all children will be emptying their lockers of any extra PE kits, trainers etc.. on Thursday as a result. Please can children bring in a plastic bag for this?
Mrs Burgess will be releasing the class on the last day of the term.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard

Dear Parents,
Welcome back! We are officially over half way through the Academic Year now which has gone so quickly!
This term our topic is all about Roman Britain. The children have some exciting and engaging lessons this term that I hope they will find enjoyable. To start the topic off and for their 1st homework task of Spring 2, can all children create a Roman shield ideally and/or Gladius (Roman sword).
I appreciate this might need a little longer to create than the usual week, so don't worry about getting it completed by next week's deadline. They can take their time with it so no rush!
Can all children also practice their times tables (x2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 & 10) and make sure they read for at least 10-15minutes daily.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard
Dear parents,
Please find homework set via My Maths & Spag.com. We have been covering these topics in class so keen to know how they score with these. Please guide them through where/if needed.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard
Dear parent,

Many Thanks

Dear Parents,
There is no homework this week, but can the children keep reading as well as practice their times tables on TTRS?
Next term our DT unit is all about constructing castles. This will be a homework task at some point leading towards the end of Spring term 1 (just before half term) just to give you all plenty of time in advance. Any cardboard collected over Christmas and brought into school when we come back would be greatly appreciated too.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard

Homework - 1.12.22
Dear parents,
Below is this week's homework tasks which is already up and live on both sites. Please only complete 15 to 20 mins worth. There is no expectation to reach the end for all.
NEXT WEEK - I am setting homework early to allow maximum time to source materials and time to complete. We are currently learning about the Stone Age to Iron Age period in History. Please can children create their own Stonehenge model - they can be as creative as they like. We will be covering beliefs and in particular looking at Stonehenge next week, so this will combine their learning with the homework.
There are good videos on YouTube to help with this. Previous year groups have used a range of materials - inc. cardboard, wood, sponge, lego etc..
Many Thanks,
Mr Leonard
18.11.2022 - Homework
Dear Parents,
Please find attached below, the homework for this week. The children have also been given their Times Table Rockstar logins. Please can they start asap with these. I am planning on showing them all on Monday the site and to run through each option with them.
From Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th November there is a national event happening with TTRS and all Primary schools who use the site. It will be based on how many questions they can get right and children are capped at playing for no longer than 1 hour per day.
TTRS gives you a certain timeframe to answer as many questions as possible. Every correct answer gives them gold coins to collect which they can spend in game on upgrading their avatar. Once the children start using the site more, they will want to play daily which is exactly what is needed to improve their times table knowledge, but also critical for the national times tables test they now have to take towards the end of Year 4. This is a great way to get them practising regularly.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard

It seems that only a certain number of children were able to find the homework on mymaths.com and spag.com for last week. Not sure why only a select few it popped up for and not the rest. It seems like the majority could only see 1 piece of homework and not the other or both not showing at all.
I am going to try and load it again today. If you get a chance to complete it, I shall extend the date for the rest of the week to complete. I appreciate that it's not the weekend and might be a little tricky for some to complete during the week, so no pressure.
Many thanks
Mr Leonard
Dear Parents,
I have set 2 pieces of work via www.spag.com & mymaths websites this week. All children have been shown how to log into their English homework via the spag website. They have all taken home their login details. Most have stuck this into their reading record. Those that didn't have these today have had to place inside their bags this evening.
Please can all children make sure they have their reading record and books each day, some children have been leaving these at home this week.
If there are any queries, let me know at the end of the day - I will have spare log in details if any go missing.
Many Thanks,
Adrian
Dear Parent,

Many Thanks

Homework - 22.9.22 - Computing
Dear parents,
Please note children will be given a book from our class library. This is a free reading/reading for pleasure book. Most children who are still on book banded levels have a separate book to go home with included. If your child is currently Orange or below, they may still be waiting for a banded book.
Please bear with us, as a school we are having to align all reading books to our new phonics scheme hence a little delay for a few children this weekend with receiving the correct banded book.
If you are without a banded book, this will be rectified shortly. In the meantime please select an appropriate book from home. The class library book is for pleasure, they will be more challenging. Please support them with their reading.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard
Welcome back!
Dear parents and children,
Welcome back to YEAR 3!. We are well into our first week and I wanted to let parents know that the children are settling in brilliantly!
Children will be receiving their new reading records and reading books over the next day or two. As a school, we have been making sure our books match up with our new phonics scheme this academic year, hence why there has been a little delay sending out. Rest assured, children will be bringing home reading books this weekend. Please can I ask children to read every day for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
Homework will be set to go out on Thursdays and to be returned on Tuesdays as normal.
PE days - these are Tuesdays and Fridays. Can children please bring in PE kits and leave in school throughout the week.
If you need to speak to me, I will be out at the end of the day for pick-ups. If you would like a more formal catch-up, please can you go to the office and they will happily arrange a date and time to meet up.
Here's to a successful Year! I'm excited to have them back!
Regards,
Mr Leonard
