I would like to inform you of a free offer currently available from The Usborne Foundation, a charity, for their brilliant app, Teach your Monster to Read. This is a phonics-focussed app, which we use in school, to support children who need extra help with reading and blending letter sounds.

It is permanently free on their website, but the app is also currently free too (normally £4.99). There are absolutely no in-app purchases or adverts, so get yourself onto the app store and download it by Sunday 17th January for free! It will continue to be free on the device you download it onto, even after this date.

Please click on the link below for further information. Sign up on the website first, to get a logon for your child, then either continue on your computer, or download the app to a different device and use the same logon you just created.

Kind regards,

Mr Butler

KS2-Spelling-Menu Games

For the spellings, please help your children to learn them, and test them towards the date suggested, submitting a photo of their scores. Use the spelling menu document for ideas.

The Times Tables maths objectives can be taught using the suggested websites or TTRS, plus the children could find some calculations to complete (TU x U and HTU x U) with your support, using the methods shown on the homework sheet.

For the Roman homework, this is an open-ended project, which really has only one rule – it needs to be about the Romans! Please use the suggestions on the sheet attached, if you are stuck for ideas.

Any questions or work to share, please email on njs.year3@taw.org.uk

Year 3 Deer Park visit clarification

Dear Parents,

Following several emails from parents, this message should clarify clothing requirements for this Friday 11th December in Year 3.

There are two groups going to the Deer Park on Friday, Group 1 in the morning and Group 2 in the afternoon.

Group 1 – Children who are going in the morning need to come to school dressed to go to the Deer Park, with their school clothing and shoes in a bag, to change into for the afternoon in school.

Group 2 – Children who are going in the afternoon need to come to school dressed to go to the Deer Park for the whole day. They do not need to wear school uniform at all, or bring it with them. This is because they will go straight home after their Deer Park visit.

As it is also National Christmas Jumper Day this Friday, children can also choose to wear their jumper too.

Please contact us if you need any further clarification.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team.

Class 3B – Bring Xmas Jumper tomorrow – if you have one!

Dear Parents of Class 3B only,

Please could children in Class 3B bring in their Christmas jumpers tomorrow? We need to do one final take for the Christmas performance, tomorrow.

If you don’t have one, please don’t worry. We have a few spares to use.

Children still can wear their Christmas jumpers on Friday 11th (National Christmas Jumper Day) as well.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler

Year 3 Christmas Play clothing / costumes

Dear Parents,

Due to the nature and format of the Christmas play this year (YouTube video), it is taking considerably longer to prepare and film.

Therefore, if they are ready, please send in your children’s costumes tomorrow morning, so we can start filming tomorrow.

ALL children who do not have an acting part, need to bring in a Christmas jumper TOMORROW, or a jumper that is warm and woolly.

This will need to stay in school until filming is complete, for a week or so. If you don’t have one, please just send them in with a non-school uniform jumper in a bag, and we will ‘tinsel’ it up!

We appreciate the really short notice, but please do your best. Also, please share this message with other parents that you may know in Year 3.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.
