Hello and welcome to Year 3!
We hope you have had a lovely summer break and are well rested, ready to work hard in your first year in KS2 - I know I am! Autumn is my favourite time of year, and the count-down to Christmas well and truly on. We've got so much to pack in! I am your Year 3 teacher this year, Mrs Harland. I am so happy to be working with you all, and to be continuing your school journey with you! We are also extremely lucky to have Mrs Lindsay working with us every day, and Mrs Deakin supporting us in some lessons as well!
You will be very excited to learn that our first topic is called ‘Time Travellers’ and we will be exploring the pre-historic eras of the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age! We have lots of exciting things planned, including an archaeological dig!
We will have PE all afternoon on a Monday with Miss Preugschat, so you must have a full PE kit ready for this day. However it would be a great idea to have your PE kit in school all week, in case any extra exciting activities happen! Make sure you also bring a water bottle into school daily, and remember to take it home with you at the end of the day. Parents - please let us know if your child doesn't bring their water bottle out with them, it may still be lurking in the classroom!
In Year 3 you will be given Learning Log homework on a Friday, this needs to be handed back in on a Wednesday. If your homework arrives on Thursday or Friday, we may not have chance to look at your amazing work and mark it before new homework goes out! Maths homework will also be given out every Friday and needs to be handed in the following Wednesday.
Now you are in KS2 we encourage you to choose and change your own reading book. We would like you to think carefully about the books you are choosing and try to read lots of different types of books, such as: non-fiction, fiction, poetry and plays. We love it when you read as much as you can at home and expect you to read at least 3 times a week. We will keep a daily record of who has been reading at home. It would be great to hear about any books you have really enjoyed- why not share them with the class by writing a book review in our class library? The 'Reader of the Week' (someone who amazes us with their reading) will be chosen on a Friday - they will get to pick something out of the Prize Box!
If you have any questions or concerns at all, then please do not hesitate to talk to us! If you catch one of us at the end of the school day, this is when we will be able to chat for the longest! Alternatively, you can ring the school office and make an appointment to talk to us.
We are really excited to work with you this year and can’t wait to get started!
Mrs Harland, Mrs Lindsay and Mrs Deakin.
