Autumn 1 – Week 8 – We’ve made it everyone!

Wow! What a busy half-term we have had. It’s been a long one but, my goodness, the children have worked their absolute socks off and made such a wonderful start to year 3 at Rosehill. We have had a jam-packed half-term, so as a reward we thought we would let the children have a week off!

Notices:

• When we return after half-term, school will be holding a Halloween disco for all the children. The Y3 disco will run straight after school on Wednesday 6^th November and straight after school from 3.15 until 4.30pm. The children can come into school dressed to impress in their Halloween attire. Please check your emails from Mr Hayes for more detailed information from Mr Hayes.

 

• Your child (if they were at school) should have come home with their photograph templates. If you would like to order your child’s photograph, please return the slip to school as soon as possible.

• We still have a few 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. 

 

• All children need their PE kit on Monday and Thursday this week. We have had an increasing number of children not bringing kits to school. It is school policy for children to have a change of clothing for PE. Please make sure your child has the correct kit in school.

 

• If you child has their ears pierced and cannot remove their own earrings, could parents/carers please ensure these are removed before the start of the school day.

 

• Children should bring their school books home and return with them every day.

 

• Parents/carers should regularly be updating boom reader with the books their child has read at home. The online application has been replaced with old-style reading journals. If you need any help with this, please pop in and see us. We will be happy to help you. We thank all parent/carers for their support with home reading/learning.

 

• 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. 

 

• All children have come home with a login for TT Rockstars. This is an application we promote and use a lot in school as it is a great way for children to learn their timetables. Multiplication and timetables are key for your child to become successful in maths.

 

This week’s learning:

In English, the children will be writing a non-chronological report all about different weather types.

In Maths, the children are continuing their work on place value and learning how to use the column method to solve calculations for addition and subtraction.

In reading, we are looking at a non-fiction text about Climate Change.

In PSHE, we are exploring respect and what bullying is.

We move onto Geography this week and our topic will be all about weather and climate.

In Science, we will be moving onto our new project all around forces.

 In music this half-term, we will be listening to, appraising and performing a song called ‘Let your spirit fly’.

PE sees the Y3 children learning basic skills and the fundamentals of PE.

D & T sees the children studying structures and creating something Christmas related ( I won’t spoil the surprise!)

In RE we are looking at who inspires us and why Jesus was seen as inspirational.

3B/R's Special Mentions were: Darcie and Leela

3P’s Special Mentions were: Coby and Ellie

We want to take this opportunity to say massively well done to all the children for their hard work this half-term. We hope you all have a wonderful week off, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Monday 4^th November ready to start the (dare I say it) Christmas half-term.

 

See you all soon and well done,

Miss Brown, Miss Rooney & Mrs Pritchard
