Meet the Teacher

I am really looking forward to starting the new school year and teaching the fantastic year three curriculum. There will be a meet the teacher on the first day back on the 3rd September at 3:20. This is an opportunity to see your childrens classroom, get as much information about the year as possible and to ask any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you all. 

Swimming 

Every Thursday morning Year 3 will be taking part in swimming lessons. Please ensure your child comes to school with their swimming kits these should include: 

-Towel

-Swim cap (these can be purchased at the school office)

-Swim shorts for boys

-Full swimming costume for girls/full burkini with costume underneath

-Drawstring bag/carrier bag

The swimming teachers are reluctant to let children participate in swimming lessons if they do not bring a swim cap, so please ensure children have them every week.

Attendance 

Attendance and Punctuality are key in ensuring you reach your full potential. Remember, every week the children who have had full attendance are in with a chance of winning a delicious hot chocolate. The school gate opens at  8.45 and closes at 8:50 so please ensure you are here. 

Weekly Reminders

• P.E this half term is on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Your child's PE kit should remain in school throughout the half term.  Please ensure earrings are not worn on PE days.

Autumn 1 - There's no place like home

In English the children will be learning all about the adventures of Paddington bear, in maths we will be learning about place value and in our topic lessons we are exploring our local history and geographical surroundings. 

Harvest - We will also be learning about/celebrating Harvest in our RE lessons and through our prayer and praise worships and also during our Harvest Festival Service.
