Dates for the diary

Future date

Please note that towards the end of Y3, students will have the opportunity to dress up as Romans to celebrate their learning. Many can use their Egyptian costumes and adapt them to a more Roman style outfit. Should you need any support or guidance, please see your child’s teacher.

English

In English this week, we have continued to read The Wild Robot. We have been exploring the story and the events through discussion, role play and shared writing. This week we designed and described a shelter for Roz and Brightbill and thought carefully about the characters’ feelings.

Maths

In Maths this week we have continued our unit on money. Our focus has been on adding and subtracting money and finding change. We practised using a number line, bar models and column method to support our calculations.

Science

An important part of a scientist's job is to share their research with other people. To be successful at this they need to think carefully about how they share. This week the students created posters to share their results and data. They had to think about how they presented their information. We will continue this next week.

Humanities

In Humanities, we have learnt about the Roman Empire and the different stages of expansion. The children created a map to show the different years this took

PSHE

In PSHE we have been learning about the power of marigolds. We made some of our own marigolds to add to a display. Here is our lesson.

Art

In Art, we began making our mosaic using real tiles. Wow - we created some amazing results!

Homework

Homework will be shared through Google Classroom. Please use this to check homework schedules. You can leave a note for the teacher with feedback too.

In the Google Classroom, you will also find additional optional resources that can support your child’s learning.

Next week, during Eid, there will be no homework set.

Spellings will be given to the students on Sunday and they will be tested on the following Thursday (4th June)

If you would like to keep up with your work, please refer to the resources available on the google classroom. There are comprehension questions and games for you to play.

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.

Google Classroom

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.

Maths Passport

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.

Any other Notices

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.

Absences

If your child is unwell, leaving early or coming late please complete the Absence Form and the class teacher will be informed.

Swimming Kit

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.

WhatsApp Groups

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.
