Welcome to Year 3

February 2025

Dear parents / carers,

Welcome back after our half term holiday. Hope you and the children have had a nice break and are ready for our next term. As always, the team and I are looking forward to this half term with lots of enthusiasm. Hope the children are too 😉

Little polite reminders:

PE is on Tuesday - please remember that PE kits are now to be kept in school and the children attend wearing their school uniform.

Homework is due in on Friday.

Please do not hesitate to speak to one of the team if you have any concerns.

Kind regards, Mrs Yates, Mrs Ruggieri and the teaching team.

Please be assured that as a school we are following the most up to date guidelines with your child's safety being one of our highest priorities.

Curriculum Overview

Please have a look at  the 'Curriculum Overview' below to find out about all the new things we will be learning about this half term. 

Homework Grid

Please have a look at the 'Homework Grid' below.  Although it is not compulsary, and we understand that family life can be busy, any activities completed will enhance your child's learning.

Reading and Spelling

Reading books – Until further notice, the children's library book can be taken home. Please try and read at least two times with your child before changing it the following Thursday. * Please remember to send it back every Thursday. If the children haven’t finished reading it, they can always borrow the book again.

When reading with your child, discuss what they have read and ask questions, this will help with their understanding and comprehension skills. We would also ask you to encourage them to have a go at reading independently. If your child is a little more exeprienced and can read independently, we would also encourage you to ask questions to imbed their understanding and English skills further. If you require extra books, please let one of the team know.

Spellings will be handed out every Friday for a spelling test the following Friday. Please encourage your child to practise their spelling at home, not only will this help them achieve a good score, it will also impact massively on their self esteem.
