We have been combining our learning with art and humanities. Using the book Kiki goes to the Corniche, we have created our own interactive book all about BSM. The children had to research some of the history of the school and then design and draft their own page. We spent a long time creating our book using different techniques and then finally painting it using water colours.
This week we have finished our topic of Mass and Capacity. We have focused on reading volume using ml and l. We also used our knowledge to answer multistep problems.
We have started Maths Passport. We have assessed the students and stuck their continent in their PO.
All information is on the google classroom. It can also be found here with a link to the website if you need to refresh your memory.
If you have any feedback, please add it to the classroom or your child’s PO so we can address it immediately.
Thursday, 23rd April - Culture day
Wear clothes to represent your country/countries.
Tuesday, 28th April - Year 3 Swimming Gala
You should have received an email outlining the details of this. We look forward to seeing you on the day.
TBC - Parent open afternoon
We are rescheduling our parent open morning. We will confirm dates as soon as they have been finalised. Thank you for your patience.
Homework - No homework will be given over the holidays - we encourage you to read and practise writing sentences - perhaps keep a diary or write letters, postcards or emails to friends. There are resources shared on the google classroom including comprehension activities, maths games and high frequency words; please use these to support your child’s learning.
In the Google Classroom, you will also find additional optional resources that can support your child’s learning.
Please note that if your child is finding the homework challenging, they should try to do what they can. The teacher will not be upset. The work that we set is similar to the work completed in class and should be accessible. If the work is easy and quick to complete, we do have additional activities that students can complete; these will not always be marked but they are available for your use.
Spelling - This week’s spellings were given on Thursday and will be tested on Thursday.
Reading - Expected to be completed daily and all students have the opportunity to change their books regularly. Please note that we will continue to assess the children over the coming weeks which means that your child’s reading band may change. Your feedback in their PO is helpful; especially if they are finding a book challenging or too easy.
Homework will be set through Google Classroom. Please join your child’s Google Classroom, either by using this code or by clicking on the invitation email they will receive. Please let us know if you have any problems with gaining access. Your child will receive their logins and passwords in their computing lessons and these will be added to their personal organisers. Homework will be set on a Sunday and will be due the following Sunday.

What to wear:
PE Days: Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on PE days and swimming days, and regular school uniform on non PE days - their timetable has been stuck in their Personal Organiser and can also be found on the Google classroom.
Swimming: On Tuesday we have swimming, please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit, and brings their swim kit in a separate waterproof bag. Please make sure all swimming items are clearly labelled with your child's name.
Water Bottles and hats: Please label everything. Some children have the same water bottles and hats as others and they often get lost.
Medical and dietary needs: Please check that the school has up to date information on any medical or dietary requirements. We will be cooking in some of our lessons and we want to make sure that we accommodate everyone's needs.
Email: We welcome communication from parents. If you would like to contact your child’s class teacher about any matter, then you can do so by writing a note in the PO, or for more complex queries please send an email to the school office, and this will be passed onto the correct member of staff. Please note, all emails should be sent via the primary office and not directly to teachers; this ensures that your query can be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support, and please contact us if you have any queries or concerns.

If your child is unwell, leaving early or coming late please complete the Absence Form and the class teacher will be informed.
Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:
Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.
Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.
Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.
We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
