Forest School 

We will have another forest school session on Wednesday next week. Children can wear forest school clothing that day and may wish to bring in wellies to change into. 

Project afternoon

A separate letter was sent out about KS2 project afternoon on Tuesday 31st March. We have asked children in Year 3 to complete their projects about our current topic: The Romans. 

Staff emails – a clarification

Please note that we do not always get the chance to check our emails during the school day. If you have a message that is important for the day, please contact the school office (who will pass on a message to us in person) or catch a Y3 staff member at the gate first thing. You can come through the main gate to speak to us if you need to. 

Rescheduled Church Visit 

On Friday 27th March, we will be visiting St Andrew’s church. This trip has been rescheduled from earlier this year. We are looking for volunteers to support us with this, so please get in contact with your child’s class teacher if you are able to help. The children will be visiting the church during the morning. 

Our learning this week:  

English: The children continued to learn about the book ‘Escape from Pompeii’. They have been writing their own diary recount based on their current learning. 

Maths:  We have finished our unit on measurement. Any practical activities you can do at home will support your child’s learning. Encourage them to measure objects around the house,   

and extend their understanding by asking questions such as: “If the book is 15 cm, how many    

millimetres is that?” Also, this week, we have begun our new unit on fractions. 

D.T: This week, we discussed how we will be creating a shell structure- a Roman Helmet. 

Homework:  

• TTRS – 15minutes on ‘Garage’ per week 

• Reading – 5x per week 

• Spelling shed – 10 games per week  

Thank you,  

Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Bridgman
