Class 3

Welcome to Year 3

Good morning Class 3,

Following the government announcement last night school is unfortunately closed for most children until we are told we can welcome everyone back. This does mean that you will be asked to work from home on a range of different tasks. I know that this can sometimes be tricky to do at home so all we can ask is that you try your best with your families help.  You were all AMAZING during the last lockdown!

Our home learning will begin properly from tomorrow and Mrs Talbot-Jones will be sending out a message later today to explain more. It will be a bit different from what you were used to last time and hopefully will feel more like being at school.

While we get everything set up and ready for you on Wednesday you will need something to do today. Here are some suggestions to get you started although you are NOT being asked to complete everything on this list!

• Read as much as you like today! Find somewhere warm and cosy to curl up and enjoy the book you are reading at the moment or get out a favourite book you have already read many times.
• Practice the common exception words. You can use look, cover, spell, check as well as using some of the words in your own sentences.  
• Start your own ‘We are Writers’ book and write your own story. Remember to do what we do in class and read it through after you have finished to check it makes sense and edit spelling and punctuation.
• Go outside and enjoy some fresh air and exercise. This could be in your garden or going for a walk with someone in your family.
• Choose a film to watch and then write a review of what happened. Draw your own book cover or DVD cover for the film.  Draw and write about the main characters. Think about Baloo the bear maybe from ‘Jungle Book’ and the song we read and watched yesterday.
• In December the whole of our school created a kindness calendar and promised to do at least one ‘random act of kindness’ every day. What are the most important things that you did to be kind to others? Make a list of all the kind things you managed to do during the month.
• You also have your new Home Learning book for this half-term that you got yesterday. There are plenty of activities that you can complete from there.

Whatever you decide to do today look after yourselves and your families and stay safe and healthy.

You can post me any question you have on Dojo and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Take care,

Mrs Hoare

Below you will find our new Home learning activity booklet for this half-term.  Completed activities are to be uploaded on your child’s portfolio on Class Dojo.   As the children are not having new Home Learning books this year to bring into school each week, please let me know if you do need a new book or any paper to complete activities on. If you have any queries or questions about home learning please contact me through messages on Class Dojo and  I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Snacks at Break time

Children are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit or vegetables to eat at break time. It helps them to concentrate up until lunch time.

If you bring your snack in a pot please ensure it has your child’s name on it.

PE

Our PE day in Year 3 will be on Tuesday.

Please ensure your child comes to school on a Tuesday wearing PE kit with appropriate footwear. If your child wears earrings please make sure these are removed for their PE day or taped up before coming to school.
