Year 3 - Pearl

Welcome to Pearl Class page!

Welcome back everyone, we hope you had an absolutely fabulous break and are rested and ready for the term ahead!

Coming up this term we will be exploring how to keep ourselves safe on the internet and spotting the difference between real and fake media in Computing. We will learn about our rights and responsibilities in PSHCEE. In our RE work we will be learning why Christians call the day Jesus died "Good Friday". We will also be having a couple of DT mornings this term crafting bug hotels to go around the school!

As always, our timetable, learning overview and parent letter are in the links below! Have a look for more information on the next few weeks of our learning journey! If you have questions that cannot be answered here, please get in touch with us.

SPAG HOMEWORK

We will continue to pick and choose which SPaG work we send home this term. Please check the list below for which pages your child should do. They will also be encouraged to write it in their Home School record book. This is to ensure the homework is more closely following what we are learning in class.

23rd February - Pages 29 & 29 - Using "ing" verbs in the present

2nd March - Pages 50 & 51 - Apostrophes for missing letters

KEY INFORMATION:

Indoor and outdoor PE kit needs to be in school every day. Please refer to our uniform policy. We will still be having outdoor PE this term so please make sure your child has weather appropriate kit! Children who do not have appropriate kit (including trainers for outdoor PE) will not be allowed to take part and will be sent to another class with work. A letter will be sent home informing you if this occurs.
As part of Healthy Schools, at snack time the children should have a healthy snack (such as fruit, vegetables, cheese and crackers or breadsticks). The children should also bring in a drink of water in a named bottle.
Please ensure that all clothing and belongings, including snack pots, drink bottles and lunch boxes, are clearly labelled as this allows the children to become more independent and responsible for their own belongings!

HOME LEARNING

Children need to complete the home learning they have been given and hand the books it in so that they can be marked. Home learning should only take approximately 15/20 minutes. If your child takes longer to complete the work, or if you feel completing the home learning is going to be an issue for your child, please get in touch either via the office or in the Home School record book.

The schedule for Home learning is as follows:

Monday - SPaG booklet (Due in Wednesday)

Tuesday - Reading

Wednesday - Reading

Thursday - Reading

Friday - Maths Times Tables booklet (Due in Monday)

Reading is an essential part of learning and we expect the children to read at least 4 times a week at home, even if only for 5 minutes! This needs to include their schoolbook at least once. We will be encouraging the children to try more adventurous book choices in school and hope they’ll enjoy doing so!
