T1 - Past Y3 Notices

Welcome to week 7 of Year 3!

In PSHE this week, we thought about friendships and what a good friend is. We also thought about the qualities of a good friend.

In Maths this week, we are learning to add numbers crossing the 10 or 100. This means that you may have to partition a number and use your knowledge of number bonds to 10 to help you. 

In Art we created our portraits of ourselves as pharaohs using papyrus style paper, oil plates and some additional touches. The effects look really great! 

In English, we are really focusing on our sentences and making sure that they are descriptive and properly punctuated. We started the week with a slow write where we all write a sentence together. We have planned an alternative version of the Bear and the Piano which we will then write in our own words. This helps us to really develop our skills. 

Spellings will now be given every Thursday in the POs enabling students to practise the words before the lesson on Sunday. The rule/pattern will be taught in the Sunday lesson as usual. The students will be tested on their spellings on the following Thursday. 

In Humanities, we are learning about Egyptian life and the different jobs that Egyptians had in ancient times. Through this we will investigate the hierarchies that were in place during these times in history. 

In Science this week, we are developing our understanding of food groups through diets and different diets there are around the world. We have shared a game in our google classroom that helps the children understand how to create and eat a healthy, well balanced  diet 

Homework will be set on Sunday and will be due on the following Sunday. It 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. 

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.

Reading is 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.

Spellings are given every Sunday and practised in the Sunday lesson. The class will be tested on their spellings on the Thursday of that week. 

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. 

In Maths this week, we are learning to add numbers using number bonds and using facts that we know and applying them to more challenging calculations. 

In English, we are working towards retelling the story in our own words; the students will need to add all of these features of this success criteria to write a successful recount. 

In Art we are adding ideas to our sketch books to support our project of creating Egyptian style portraits. We will use papyrus style paper to add to a picture of our profile and add an Ancient Egyptian inspired headdress. 

In Humanities, we are learning about the Egyptian pharaohs and their achievements while in power.  We will discuss what a legacy is and think about what legacies the Ancient Egyptians left.

In Science this week, we are looking at foods that fuel our body and how they help us to function well as we learn to name and explain the function of food groups.

Language for Learning

The Language for Learning team would like to welcome you back to the new school year. 

We are looking forward to supporting your children’s language learning this term. We have several groups taking place this term to support children with language acquisition which included: Speaking and Listening, Reading, Writing and Vocabulary. Should your child be invited to a small group intervention you will be notified via the Primary Office.

Alongside small, regular groups, in some year groups the team will be supporting children with their curriculum for a unit of work or specific activity. This work will usually be completed in class, however sometimes work may lend itself to being completed out of the classroom, in order to support further with a specific language focus. 

We also have a website with Tips and Tricks for you and your children to use at home. Click here for the Language for Learning website. 

Should you have any questions about the support your child is being offered please do contact the Language for Learning team.
