Spring Term - Mountain High 

Can I touch a mountain peak?

We have an exciting term of learning planned for the second term of Year 3. We'll be starting with exploring the points of a compass around the school.  In science we will be studying rocks and soils where we will be identifying how the rocks are made up and what properties they have.  Visiting Laser Quest will be a highlight which will bring together our historical learning where the Romans and the Celts have a battle.  A special guest, Boudicca will also enlighten us on how the Celts went into battle.  In art, our focus will be to create collographs of mountain scenes.  Our PSHE learning will look at the Zones of Regulation.  In music, we will continue to progress with our notation and the notes played on the recorder.

Exciting activities for this second term in Year 3.

Each week the children will receive spellings and times tables appropriate to their level. These will be stuck into their homework books and sent home every Friday.

If you ever misplace or lose spellings, the homework sheets are on this class page. Alternatively, please let your class teacher know. 

Test days:

Thursday - Times table test

Thursday - Spelling test

Please don't forget your 10-15 minutes a day of reading and your 20 minutes (or more!) a week of TT Rockstars. This needs to be completed between the Friday and the Thursday of the following week.

Reminders

The school day

The classroom doors will open at 8.35am and close at 8.45am. If the classroom door is shut when you arrive, please take your child to the office and sign them in there. 

The school day finishes at 3.15pm. Please be prompt in being on the playground ready to collect your child and to hear about all the wonderful learning they have done.

Parent meetings

We are delighted to be able to welcome parents and guardians in for a chat when needed . Where possible, please wait until the end of the day and after all children have been dismissed if you need to talk to the teachers.

School uniform reminder

Please ensure your child comes to school in correct uniform everyday. On PE and swimming days they can wear their PE kit to school but again, please ensure that they are wearing the correct school PE kit.

Reading

The expectation is that your child reads every night and an adult signs their reading record

Their reading record should then be brought in every day and their book changed regularly.

PE Days:

Toucans:  Tuesday and Thursday
