Summer Term - Class Three
We hope you all had a relaxing Easter break with your families and are ready for the final term of the current academic year.
We are all looking forward to a fun filled Summer Term packed full of exciting topics and activities including the Ancient Egyptians, plant growth, performance poetry and our local settlement/area.
In English, we shall focus on writing triumphing stories, creating and delivering presentations and using different techniques whilst writing poetry.
In Maths, we shall focus on fractions, money, time, shape and statistics.
In RE, our four areas of focus are Energy, Journey in Love, Choices and Special Places.
Our PE days for this term are Monday and Wednesday so please ensure children arrive to school in their full PE kit.
If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to arrange an after-school meeting or put a message into your child's reading record.
Kind regards,
Miss McElhill and the Year 3 team.
Homework
Homework will be sent home weekly on a Friday, it is set on Microsoft Teams or a paper copy can be requested. It is due by the following Friday.
Please do not hesitate to contact myself, Miss McElhill, if there are any difficulties with completing homework.
Using Spelling Frame
** Please note that in order to practise the weekly spelling words, children need to be logged into Spelling Frame. Log-in details can be found in your child's homework book. Children will have a test in class on a Friday, but they can take practise tests using the Spelling Frame site. Below is a guide to using Spelling Frame. Please let me know if you have any queries about using Spelling Frame.**
