Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back! We hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas break and we would like to wish you a very happy new year!
This term in Owls class, your child’s teachers will continue to be Mrs Lawrence (Monday, Wednesday) and Mrs Auty (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday).
Please refer to the attached ‘Curriculum Grid’ which provides an overview of what your child will be learning this term. In English we will begin by reading traditional tales, including ‘Ulf and the Finger Eater’ by Dick King-Smith. The children will become familiar with the key features and write their own alternative chapters. Later in the term, we will also be writing diary entries and letters based on our chosen class texts. Our learning in Science will focus on rocks. We will learn about their properties and how they can be used for different purposes. In Geography lessons we will be learning about rivers and the water cycle.
Our PE lessons will continue to be on a Monday (inside with Mrs Lawrence) and on a Tuesday (outside with Mrs Auty). Please ensure that your child comes to school in the correct PE kit and that earrings are removed. We also ask that long hair is tied back on these days.
Please also find attached your child’s optional ‘Home Learning Task’ which your child may choose to complete in addition to the expected home learning tasks (as set out below).
- Children are expected to read for 30 minutes a week. Please remember to comment in your child’s reading record.
- Children are expected to complete 30 minutes of ‘Timetables Rockstars’.
- Access Spelling Shed for practicing spellings (Year 3)
As always, you can keep up-to-date with all important dates, events and updates via the school website and on the Airwaves newsletter but, should you need to speak to us, please feel free to make an appointment via the school office or speak to us when you collect your child at the end of the school day.
Thank you in advance for your continued support this term.
Mrs Lianne Lawrence and Mrs Becky Auty
