Summer 2  – Week 1 Complete

How can it be the final half-term of this academic year already? Time is going by so quickly. The children have all returned to school with such determination and positive attitudes as they take on the final challenges of year 3.

Notices:

• We still have a number of our parents/carers who have not connected to our class dojo. This is a great resource for parents to see all the wonderful things our classes get up to whilst at school. Please check your emails and get in contact if you have any problems logging in. 
• Next week is our annual STEM week project. This will be taking place from Monday to Wednesday next week. The children will need to come to school at the usual time and in school uniform. Throughout the week, the children will be working with different adults and different children from all-year groups and it is a fun and exciting time. Please keep your eyes on the website and class dojo pages for pictures and updates.
• We are still collecting sponsor money for the Y4 residential. If you have any to contribute, please bring this in asap.
• Sports day is on Tuesday the 18^th June from 1pm. Please check your emails from school for more information.
• School have launched their new 'IR' maths resource for the children to use at home. Please check your emails and class dojo for instructions and the link to access this wonderful resource. 
• All children need their PE kit on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
• All children need their library books on Wednesday with reading journals. Reading journals should be in school every day along with a water bottle.  
• We have a number of children coming to school in the incorrect uniform. Please can parent/carers ensure children are wearing the correct items. This information can be found on our website or by contacting the school office. 
• The weather is very unpredictable at the moment, so politely ask that children come prepared with hats, water bottles, coats and appropriate footwear. 

 

 

This week's learning:

 

Along with our STEM week project, the children will also be doing the following:

• In English, the children will be writing their letters.
• In Maths, we will be learning all about time. If the children could be doing time at home and parents/carer challenging them on telling the time, it will benefit them and help with their learning.
• In reading, we will be looking at non-fiction texts linked to our new Geography project the Amazon Rainforest.
• In PSHE, we are continuing to learn about how we can keep ourselves safe.
• We move onto Geography this half term and will be looking at the Amazon Rainforest and how unique it is.
• In Science, we will be continuing our topic all about plants.
• Music is back on the weekly timetable and the children will be warming up their vocal cords and learning a new song.
• In RE this half term, we will be looking at Christianity and what this religion entails.

The whole Y3 team are very proud of the children this week and how they have returned to school. There will be lots of updates from school over the next few weeks relating to next year so please keep your eyes peeled and check your emails and class dojo.
