YR3 - Atinuke

Welcome to Year 3!

Our class is named after the author Atinuke - we will be learning about some of her books this year!

Curriculum:

Each half-term we have a whole school concept that we follow. We then have our own Year 3 learning question linked to this concept.

See our curriculum updates on Class Dojo to find out what we are learning about each half term.

It is evidently proven that the best way for children to thrive and achieve is with a secure and consistent approach at school and at home!

Weekly homework will consist of:

• Reading at home at least 4 times a week – please sign your child’s reading diary and ensure that the reading book and diary are brought back into school.
• Times Table practise on TTRS – children will be offered challenges on there – can they beat their teachers’ scores?
• Spellings to practise. You child also can also access games on Spelling Shed. 
• Creative curriculum half termly homework linked to our topic.

All children have been given their log on information; this can be found in their reading diary. Please keep this safe. Children will earn Dojo points for completion of homework. I understand some may not have access to digital devices or internet at home, please let me know if this is an issue for your family and I will support you in resolving this!

Swimming/PE

Our swimming day is on a Tuesday for the Autumn term. Please ensure your child brings a swimming suit, towel and goggles if required, with a permission slip. Swimming will continue up until December. Please ensure your child is not wearing any jewellery on that day and if they have long hair, it should be tied back. Thank you. We also have PE on a Monday - children can come to school wearing their PE kit on this day.

Class Dojo:

We do update class Dojo frequently and it is a great way of communicating. Please keep checking for messages on there. If you have any concerns or worries please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I am here to support you all as well as your children!

We are very excited to see what this year holds and even more excited to be working with each and every one of your children!
