Welcome to Year 3
Welcome back. Our theme this term is Magic and Wonder.
PE will be on Wednesday afternoons. All PE kits should be brought to school on Monday morning and will go home after the PE session on Wednesday. Children will go home in their PE kits to save the extra changing.
Homework: Maths and English will be set each Friday. This must be completed by the following Wednesday. Children must read 5X a week.
To begin with, the home learning tasks may be more online with Spelling Shed and Mathletics, but will also include tasks within their home learning book as we go on.
If you have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are using the ClassDojo platform for all class messages and information. (Please use this or e-mail to contact me directly.) Home learning tasks will be on there if applicable.
