WELCOME TO YEAR 3
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 Selvaganesan.
Every week, 3S is taught by Mrs Hall for a day.
3T- is taught by Miss Tripp and Mrs Hall (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday), plus Ms Hughes (Wednesday and Friday).
Every week, 3T is taught by Mrs Rafiq for a morning and every other week for the whole day.
Both classes will be supported by Mr Poole, Miss Barry and Miss Panos.
PE DAYS
3S-Monday and Wednesday
3T- Monday and Wednesday
Please make sure PE kits are in school and contain both outdoor PE and indoor PE kit.
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 DAILY 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.
SPRING TERM THEME...CRIME BUSTERS
"Who ya gonna call?" "CRIME BUSTERS!" This term we are going to have our ears to the ground and our eyes peeled as we learn about crime through time. (Oh what a nice rhyme!). We are taking the theme of crime and punishment from the Middle Ages all the way to the modern day. Other the term, we will have a look at...questions such as:
What was life like before the police?
How do the police help us?
Have the laws in Britain always been the same?
What is the best material to help with a quick getaway?
Why is the Magna Carta important?
How much work happened in a work house?
This term we will be aiming to answer these and other questions about the history of Crime and Punishment. 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
