It has been wonderful to welcome your children in to Year 3 this week! I hope you have all had a fabulous summer and are ready for the year ahead. Your children are all lovely little people and I can’t wait to get to know them all as the year progresses. We have had a great couple of days together getting to know one another and establishing the rules and routines of Year 3. They have settled in so well and they all seem excited to be in the juniors.
Notices
PE - will be on Mondays and Thursdays so please send the children into class in their PE kits on those days. No earrings can be worn for PE so please ensure that they are taken out at home.
Water Bottle - we have provided the children with a school water bottle. The children need to bring their water bottle in daily, already filled with water. They will take their water bottle home at the end of each day to be cleaned (starting from Monday).
Homework - will be set through Class Dojo on a Friday and will be due in the following Tuesday.
Home Reading - the children have brought home their reading folders with a reading record and a book inside. The book is one the children have picked purely on whether they wanted to read it or not. Next week, the class will be taking their star reading tests to determine their new ZPD for Autumn 1. It is so important that the children are reading regularly at home! Please can you ensure their reading records are signed at home so they can get their stickers on their book marks too.
Home Learning-if your child is having to isolate for any reason and needs to access home learning, this will be accessible from the Year 3 Home Learning page. On the day we are informed of any child needing to isolate, it may mean that it will not be until the end of the day that a full timetable of home learning will be available on the Home Learning tab.
If you need to contact me, please send me an e-mail to: year3@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk or contact me via Class Dojo.
As of next week, I will include details on my blog of what the children have learned that week as well as some pictures of them hard at work!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Heim-Sarac
