Year 3 Spellings this week and next week, Homework and TTRS

Dear Parents and Carers,

Week 3 Spellings Year 3

Week 4 Spellings Year 3

Homework for Autumn 2nd half 2023

Apologies for the late posting of this week’s spellings – we have had several technical issues with the school website and loading up files. Hopefully these are now resolved.

Also attached is a reminder copy of the Year 3 homework for this half term.

Finally, children are currently engaged in a national competition on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS). With this in mind, we would really appreciate it if you could allow your children to play on TTRS as often as possible over the next 24 hrs. The maximum time they can count towards the competition is 1 hr of playtime.

Once this competition has finished, we would recommend that children continue to  spend at least 10 minutes per day practicing their times tables on TTRS.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

6B art lesson

This week, 6B have started their new art topic of ‘Landscapes’. We began by looking at the painting ‘The Flora of the Heath’ by Paul Klee. We created our own painting, using poster paint, using Paul Klee’s as inspiration.

Well done 6B.

5M Reminders

This coming Friday, it is Mufti day in exchange for £1 for Children in Need. Mr Rotherham has done a letter on the website explaining a little more about a visitor we may have….

Next week is the start of Bikeability for some children. If this concerns your child, please return the permission slip for your child if you haven’t done so already.

Can children in 5M not doing Bikeability on Monday please bring an old shirt that can be ruined, we will be painting and using pastels Monday afternoon.

Swimming will continue as normal for the children not doing Bikeability on Tuesday.

Finally, speaking for 5M, your children are ploughing through an absolute avalanche of work currently and rising to the challenge well. They have coped with raised expectation of Y5 and I felt it was appropriate this was recognised.
