Year Three

Mrs Garthwaite and Mrs Shea would like to welcome you to Year Three.

We've made it through to the Easter holidays!  We hope that you manage to enjoy these two weeks with your families safe at home.  We are launching our home learning and communication with families after the Easter holidays.  This will be through ClassDojo.  It can be accessed on a computer, IOS and android devices.  Please read the letter in the Letters to Parents and send  your email address to school.

Good afternoon everyone,

In light of the challenging times we are facing, Mrs Garthwaite and I wanted to offer our help by reminding you all of some of the useful resources you can access at home.  In addition to the pack we have already sent out and the list of resources uploaded below, we hope these additional links will aid you when trying to provide home learning and some routine to your child’s day.

School closure 

As the school is closing on Friday, we have created paper based learning packs which are available from the school office if your child has not already received it.    In addition to this, there are many online resources/ideas which can be used to help support your child's learning during their absence from school.  Below are a number of websites, suggested games etc listed in word documents for you to access.  We also encourage the children to log onto TT Rockstars to practise their times tables (if your child has forgotten their log in, please email your child's teacher or contact the office).  

We appreciate how difficult this situation is and will continue to keep posting updates to support and assist you and your child.

Please ensure that you have your PE kit in school for outdoor PE on Friday and indoor PE on a Wednesday. Please remember that PE kit consists of a navy or white short sleeved t-shirt; navy/black plain shorts/tracksuit bottoms and a navy sweatshirt.  Trainers will also be required.  Earrings MUST NOT be worn for PE.

The children have been issued with reading records. This should be used to keep a record of daily reading. Please ensure that this is brought to school everyday.

Homework will be set every Thursday and will need to be brought in, completed, by the following Wednesday.

In addition to this, the children will be given half-termly Topic homework tasks at the beginning of each half term.
