Year 3 children had a fantastic time at Tanglewood, learning how to survive in the Stone Age. We learned how to start a fire using flint, built some very impressive dens and toasted marshmallows over the fire.

Welcome back to Spring term; we hope the children, you had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to a new term at Elston Hall.
The Spring term is a busy time for children in Year 3 with lots of learning taking place.
For more details about our learning this term, please see the Curriculum Overview.
We will continue with morning toast up until close of register and should you wish, children can still continue to bring a piece of fruit to school for their morning snack. Just a reminder that no free fruit is provided.
Just a reminder that children in Key Stage 2 do not receive universal free school meals. If you are eligible for means-tested free school meals, this will continue but any other children wishing to have a school meal will need to pay £2.40 a day via sims pay. If you think you are eligible for free school meals, please ensure the school office have your national insurance number and date of birth and we can check for you.
This term we are continuing with our exciting, thematic approach to teaching. This allows children to make connections between areas of learning and consolidate skills. All the themes chosen deliver the programmes of study for the National Curriculum and this term our topics will be ‘Athens Vs Sparta, ‘Out and About’ and ‘Picture our Planet’
PSHEe, R.E, French and Science will be taught discreetly.
PE
We are continuing with our new PE uniform to wear on PE days. Children will still be expected to wear this PE uniform only on the days they have PE. Please can we remind children that no jewellery should be worn in school, with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines, these should not be worn on PE days. Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE lessons if they are worn on those days.
Year 3 PE sessions are:
Class 10: Tuesday and Thursday
Class 11: Tuesday and Friday
Class 12: Tuesday and Friday
Children in Year 3 will still receive regular homework. Children will continue to bring home a purple creative homework book with outlined activities. Please practise reading with your child regularly and complete comprehensions weekly. Weekly spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Friday.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher, who will usually be available at the end of each day. We anticipate a busy and exciting term and we thank you in anticipation of your continued support.
