The week in Review

Welcome to week 5 of Year 3!

In assembly last week, Year 3 sang to the KS2 children. They were very courageous and brave. If you haven't seen the video, it is posted on our Google Classroom.

This week in English, we have looked at contractions. We used apostrophes to show the omitted words. We also looked at postcard writing based on the children visiting NYC and listening to the bear in our book playing a concert. When we are writing, we are making sure that we are using capital letters and full stops as well as interesting and descriptive vocabulary.

In Science this week, we are looking at our joints and how they help us to move. We will identify where they are on our body.

In Maths, we are ordering and comparing numbers; thinking about how we know which number is larger and what we do if numbers have the same number of hundreds?

In Humanities we are learning about the vast span of time covered by the Ancient Egyptian empires. We will place these on a timeline.

In PSHE, we are sharing our student leader presentation and voting for those who we feel should represent our class.

Homework

Homework will be set on Sunday and will be due on the following Sunday. We are starting slow with some light activities. (For this coming week it will be Thursday)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
