Year 3

Dear Parents,

This year seems to have flown by, and here we now are in the Summer term. There’s just one more term to go before their well deserved summer break and journey into Year 4, but until then, we have an action packed few months ahead, what with Sealife Centre and all the general jollity the summer term brings.

English

This term, we will be reading the fantastic ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare. Followed with, ‘Varjak Paw’ by S.F  Said, a book taken from our Y3 recommended reads. We will study the book in our reading lessons, along with exploring other texts linked to our wider curriculum for our writing.

Other areas of the curriculum

This term, we will be looking at the Tudors in History which will also link closely with a D.T. project which the children will design, make and then evaluate later on in the term. We will be exploring our local area in Geography including working on our map skills in physical Geography and how our area has evolved for the growing population in human Geography. In Science, once finishing off our plant unit we will be focusing on our bodies and how our skeleton and muscles support our movement. 

P.E.

Year 3 will be doing PE on a Tuesday afternoon. Children should come to school in their PE kit instead of their school uniform. PE kit must consist of black shorts or black/ navy jogging bottoms, white t-shirt (with or without the school logo) and trainers. They should wear a plain black / navy jumper if required. Please ensure that if your child has earrings, these should be removed at home before coming to school or tape should be provided to cover them.

PPA

PPA will still take place on Thursday afternoon. For the first half term, 3A and 3C will need to come into school on this day in their PE kit.  3S are swimming every Thursday until May half term, so they will need to come into school in their school uniform but bring their swimming kit.

Uniform

Correct school uniform must be worn at all times, and all garments must be labelled with your child's name. The labelling of PE kit and bags would also be extremely beneficial! Please can we also remind you about your child’s hair accessories ensuring that they are inline with school expectations. Your child will be asked to remove them if they do not comply.

Sealife Centre

A reminder that we will be going to the Sealife Centre on Friday 13th May 2022. This is now set up on ParentPay.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask! You can contact any member of the staffing team by email addresses listed below. Alternatively, phone the school office and a message will be passed on.

Many thanks,

The Year 3 Team
