WELCOME TO YEAR 3
(Scroll down to find out about our NEW theme this term)
Over the next year we will be making the most of our time at school, and you can see some of our learning highlights on our blog. We also put a lot of our learning onto Seesaw, which means our families at home can see what we have been getting up to in school.
There are two Year 3 classes at Tudor:
3S- is taught by Miss Cosby and Mrs Higgins. Also Mr Poole and Mrs Matuloba are supporting 3S.
Every week, 3S is taught by Mrs Hall for a day.
3T- is taught by Miss Williams, Mrs Hall and Ms Hughes. Also Mr Winfield and Mrs Ross support 3T.
Every week, 3T is taught by Mrs Smith for one morning.
PE DAYS
3S-Wednesday and Thursday
3T- Monday and Wednesday
This term we will also have 2 weeks of swimming. Please check the previous letters from school for more information.
HOMEWORK and READING
In Year 3, we expect children to read every night (we aim for at least 3 times a week to be recorded in the reading record). Aim for about 10-15 minutes.
We will check reading records on Mondays and children can leave their book and reading record in the changing tray when they need a new one. If you think they are ready to move up a level, please pop a note in their red books, and we will check as well.
We will also be setting weekly tasks including spelling, maths and comprehension. (One week maths and then the next comprehension).
Homework will be given out on Fridays and will be due in the following Wednesday.
If you need support with the homework OR want to discuss anything PLEASE pop a note in the red book - remind your child to hand it in- and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
SUMMER TERM THEME...TOMB RAIDERS
We can't de-Nile it any more! This term we are 'Sphinx'ing outside the box with our learning all about Ancient Egypt!
Who were the Ancient Egyptians?
Why did they build the pyramids?
How do we know about them now?
What was it like to live as an Egyptian?
What happened to them?
What is a mummy?
This term we will be aiming to answer these and other questions about the Ancient Egyptians. If you would like to see more details about each of our areas of study. Please look at the overview at the bottom of this page...it should look like this:
Keep an eye on our blog (which we aim to update once a week) for all our learning!
If you have any questions, please write a note in the red book, and we can arrange a meeting/phone call as required.
Thank you for your continued support, Team Year 3!
