Year 3 2020 - 2021

Summer Term 1

'He makes me lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside still waters'

Psalms 23: 1-3

Hello everyone and welcome back.

The weather is lovely and sunny at the moment and that always cheers me up.

I hope you all enjoyed your half term break and are looking forward to the final few weeks  ahead. 
Last term was a strange one to say the least but, working together, we got there.  It was lovely to see the children back in school, I am sure you'll agree.

As usual, I will ensure a regular routine, providing you with a full and balanced curriculum.  I will try to make all your lessons enjoyable and include some fun activities along the way. 

We have more exciting topics this half term that are explained on the newsletter attached to this page. However, due to the fact we spent a few weeks at home, these topics will not begin straight away.  We will be completing last half-terms topics before we move on.  

We will continue with our new core book ‘There’s a Pharaoh in Our Bath' by Jeremy Strong.  This will tie in nicely with our History topic.  We will be practising our  'Fractions' and 'Shape' skills in Maths. In History, we will take a journey into the past and find out about 'The Ancient Egyptians', investigate ‘Magnets’ in Science and, in RE, discover 'What it means to be a Christian'.  I will attach Knowledge Organisers for History, Science and RE as promised.  

Homework will consist of weekly spellings, times tables and reading.  I have posted these on Google Classroom.  Can we make sure we all read daily (completing our reading records) and practise our times tables and spellings for a few minutes each day too. 

Once again, do NOT worry about a thing.  If you have any concerns, however small, I will be there to help you sort them out. Being happy in and out of school is the most important thing.

Please remember to bring sun cream into school for you child to put on during this hot spell.

Here's to great last half term.

Love from Mr T X
