Class 3 - Miss Dakin
Welcome back Year 3 and 4,
I hope that you have all had a wonderful summer break and are looking forward to an exciting new school year. I am really looking forward to welcoming the children into our class and getting to know everyone over the coming weeks.
As we begin the new school year, please make sure that ALL clothing, footwear and belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
All children must have a pair of appropriate indoor shoes, such as plimsolls, to change into when entering the classroom. As we will try to get outside as much as possible, children will also need a waterproof coat in school, particularly as the weather begins to change.
Please could children also bring a named water bottle to school each day.
Homework
Children will be expected to use Spelling Shed and Times Tables Rock Stars every week.
Please could children also read independently at least 3 times each week. Regular reading at home makes a huge difference, so we really appreciate your support with this.
Each month, children will also be asked to complete another piece of work linked to what they have been learning in class. These activities can be found on the Homework Grid.
Spellings
Spellings will be given out each week on Friday. An overview of the spelling patterns and rules we will be covering this half term will also be available.
The weekly spellings will link to a rule or spelling pattern that your child will be working on in school throughout the week using a variety of different strategies.
Please encourage your child to practise and learn their weekly spellings. Children will complete their spelling check on Fridays.
PE
Our designated PE slots are Monday and Thursday. Could you please make sure that their child comes to school IN their PE kit on PE days, as well as has a water bottle at school daily, but particularly for PE lessons.
PE kit should include plain dark blue/black tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirt, white t-shirt, trainers AND plimsoles (for indoor PE).
