Phonics. If your child is having Little Wandle sessions these will happen each morning.
Maths catch up. If your child is having extra numeracy practice this will happen while the other children are in assembly each day.
Knowledge organisers for many of the subjects are available to download below and are good at prompting conversations.
Class email – due to the restructuring of classes your children are now year 3, class 3 and so the email address remains the same. [email protected] I will monitor this during school hours but feel free to pop in and see me. I will usually be available for a few minutes before and after school.
Please have a look further down the page for photos of some of the things we've been up to this Autumn.
P.E. will be Tuesday and Thursday. Please come in kit and ensure it is suitable for outside. Don’t forget a water bottle.
Please provide a change of footwear for using in school. Many children wear black plimsoles,
Please label your children’s clothes and water bottles, it really helps the staff and children as a lot of similar looking lunchboxes and cardigans become separated from their owners. Recently I’ve discovered the sticky labels and they’re great.
Spellings will be set on Friday to be tested the following Friday. Spelling Shed logins have been sent home with each child but I can reprint or reset these as required, just send me an email. My daughter likes a long session online and for me to test her on the spellings on paper over breakfast the day of the test! Little and often is probably better but do what suits your family.
Times Tables Rockstar is very popular with the children. Any problems finding time to access the site, just let me know.
Reading books can be swapped in school as and when required but I’ll be reminding the children to do this on Tuesdays. It would be helpful if they always had their reading books in their schoolbags. Please log reading on the BoomReader app. Again, any problems doing this, just let me know and I’ll find a way around this.
