Hello and welcome to Year 3's Class Page!
We hope you enjoyed the Christmas break and are well rested and ready to work hard! We have lots to learn this term and we have been busy planning lots of exciting learning opportunities and lessons for you. Spring term is always so busy, and after the long Autumn term, it just seems to fly by! We've got a lot to cover in a short space of time, and lots of exciting activities planned (Chester Zoo, Cricket, Orienteering), so we'd best get cracking!
Our main topic this term is Disasters. We will research the changes in Britain through the Romans. In Literacy we will be reading the story Escape from Pompeii, and we have lots of new skills to learn!
There will be a huge focus upon handwriting and presentation this half term; everybody must be joining their writing and thinking about how to present work to a high standard. Everyone must also be joining their letters in the correct way. Please let us know if you would like handwriting sheets to practise at home.
Skills to keep up at home - It is also really important to continue to read at home regularly to improve comprehension skills and fluency. We ask that you read at least twice a week with your adults, and lots on your own! Please make sure that your Reading Record is written in so that we can see when you have been reading. Please also start to practise your times tables (3s, 4s and 8s) at home. You need to be able to count in these (3, 6, 9, 12… etc.) and also rapidly recall facts (e.g. 3 x 6 = 18).
Keep accessing Bug Club and Times Table Rock Stars. Bug Club books will be updated once a fortnight, and you will be given a few to choose from, however if you do need new Bug Club books then please let one of us know!
Remember to have your PE kits in school every day please! Our PE day continues to be Monday afternoon, so make sure you have your kits ready for the first Monday back in school.
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.
Let's get ready to rumble!
Mrs Harland, Mrs Lindsay and Mrs Deakin.
