Year 3

Routine and Information

PE kits should be brought into school on Monday and taken home on Friday. Year 3 have PE on a Monday (rugby) and Thursday (with Mr Cooper) this term. They will need dark shorts or jogging bottoms, a white t-shirt, trainers and a sweatshirt or hooded jumper in the colder weather. Long hair must be tied back for PE lessons, watches should be removed and earrings should be taken out. Any other jewellery is not to be worn to school.

Year 3 will be taking part in swimming sessions in the summer term. On a Monday, your child will need to bring their swimming kit, towel, swimming hat, goggles (if you have signed the permission form) and their water bottle. You may want to provide your child with a healthy snack to eat upon their return to school.

Homework will be set on a Wednesday and handed in the following Monday. Spellings form part of the homework. However these will be set on a Wednesday and tested on the following Tuesday.

Please listen to your child read five times a week and comment in their reading records. This term we are encouraging children to read six books by Dick King Smith. The children can read these independently or be read to by an adult.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate in coming to speak to me.

Thank you,

Autumn Term!

At Hanborough Manor this year, we're going to be looking at the Year of the Green Planet. We have made sure our topic for this term lines up with this theme and will be looking at Recycled Robots this term. This will focus on how we can do our part to help save the planet. Please see below for the medium term plan for this term.

English

In guided reading this term we will be reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. We will use this novel and other texts as the basis for our writing in English.
