Autumn Term - Time Travellers 

Are we nearly there yet?

We have an exciting term of learning planned for the start of Year 3. We'll be starting with a trip to Coombe Woods.  This is where we will be building shelters to live like the people in the Stone Age . Lots of specialist learning will take place during this outing.  We will be also going to the amazing Butser Farm to see Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age houses.  Lots of fantastic and varied activities will take place there.

In science, we will be studying light and shadows moving on to electricity circuits.  In Art, our focus will be to use the skill of sketching where the final art piece will be a cave drawing with animals and scenes of hunting and foraging.  In music we will be starting to learn how to play the recorder.

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, 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 Day:

Toucans: Wednesday and Friday

Hummingbirds: Wednesday and Friday

Swimming Day will be a  Friday for both classes after Christmas.
