Important Dates:

Sea Pool Trip: For our sea pool trip, the children will need a wetsuit. They can either bring their own or borrow one (free), but if they are borrowing one, we need to order in advance. If your child already has a wetsuit, please could they try it on this weekend? We will be asking them again next week to check if they need to borrow one.

Head lice:

Please check your child’s hair over the weekend as headlice are currently a problem in school. Please note, that this is a recurring issue in Year 3. It is really important that children’s hair is checked regularly and treated if necessary. Re-treatment is important to ensure that any newly-hatched nits are detected and removed. Please see the NHS advice on this for more information:

Our learning this week

English: We wrote a class version of ‘Flotsam’ this week and called it ‘Jetsam’.

Maths: We continued learning about time, focussing on durations of time, years, months and days.

Science: The children carried out an experiment to see if children with longer femurs (thigh bones) could jump further than children with shorter femurs.

Homework – we expect Year 3 children to complete the following homework weekly:

• TTRS – 15minutes on ‘Garage’ per week
• Reading – 5x per week
• Spelling shed – 10 games per week

Thank you, 

Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Everitt
