Welcome Back 2021/22 Year 3’s!

I can’t believe how quickly the beginning of another year at school has come around! I hope everybody is ready for a fantastic year- full of learning. 

Our main topic this term is Let's Grow! (Rainforests). A lovely topic as there is lots of opportunity to link it across many subjects.  We will be exploring where rainforests are in the World, and finding out why they grow their.  We will be reading lots of rainforest themed stories and non-fiction, and we will be using some of this information in our writing.  We will also be using our knowledge of the rainforests to inspire us to make observational drawings / sketchings.  In science we will be looking at plants and their life cycle, and hopefully trying to grow our own.  

A few “housekeeping” things to remember: PE is every Wednesday and Friday, and children need to wear their P.E. kit to school on those days.  Most sessions will be outdoors so please make sure clothes are appropriate for the weather (white t-shirt, black shorts, suitable footwear and a plain dark tracksuit in case it is cold). 

After the February half-term we will begin sending home weekly spellings each Friday. These must be returned by the following Thursday in preparation for a weekly spelling test which will be on Friday. Spellings will be found each week below (printable) if somehow they should be misplaced by your child!

We will set a new homework grid each half term. We will provide a homework book for every child. Your child will be expected to choose a minimum of five activities to be handed in the week prior to each school holiday for marking/feedback. Homework grids can be found each half term below (printable) if somehow they should be misplaced by your child!

We will be out on the playground after school each day if you need to speak, or, if you need a little longer please make an appointment either via the office or send a message on Dojo.

Many thanks

Mr Bates and Mrs Clover
