Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn term! I hope you have had a restful break and are ready to come back  fresh and start a new topic!

We will be learning lots of exciting things and this half-term’s curriculum information and knowledge organiser can be found as an attachment at the bottom of the blog (we'll be looking at volcanoes and earthquakes as part of our topic!!). We will also be having some exciting visitors from the British Geological Survey talk to us several times this half-term. At the end of the term we will be heading to watch the panto as a whole School!

 

What is our class text for this half-term?

Last half-term we focused on  texts by Roald Dahl and Jill Murphy. This half-term we will be reading  Wild Robot by Peter Brown. Feel free to purchase a copy so your child can bring their own copy into school and read along.

 

Here are the school expectations for your child:

- To be reading at least 3 x a week at home and for home schoolbooks to be signed every week. You could even attend reading lair to do this!

- For children to remain in their green zone on doodlemaths and doodlespell (this is approximately 40 minutes every week).

- For children to complete their Bronze Reading challenges (these can be found at the back of your child’s home school book).

- Checking the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.

 

Swimming and PE

The year 3's do PE every WEDNESDAY afternoon and go swimming every THURSDAY afternoon (please click here for more information).

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me or pass on a message to the office.
