Year 3 have really settled well into life at NJS. They have settled well each day, completing a couple of Writing lessons and Maths so far this week. The children have also used their knowledge of Modern British Values to vote for class School Council Representatives, class Worship Leaders and class Sports Ambassadors.
ParentPay – Letters to activate you child’s account have come home with the children over the weekend. This enables you to pay for things at NJS – as we are mostly cashless. On ParentPay you are able to pay for hot dinners, trips, residentials etc. It also acts as a “permissions” area, enabling you to give permission for trips etc.
Homework & Reading – We have not set any homework this week. Homework is usually set each Friday. We will be discussion this at Monday’s parents meeting. Your child should have chosen a set reading book, appropriate to their ability (either a Yr 3 book or a Phonics book) they should also have a free choice reading book from home (a book they enjoy). We encourage reading to be completed at home at least 3 times (as part of our homework schedule!)
Website – Please ensure you are all subscribed (follow the subscribed button) to the website so you don’t miss any key messages or weekly newsletters. Please encourage others to do so too. You’ll also see pictures of the key events that your children will be involved in during the school year.
PE – We each have two sessions of PE a week, 3M and 3P Mondays and Fridays and 3B Mondays and Thursdays. We encourage PE kits to be left in lockers all week, especially if they are doing clubs – however own clothes are also acceptable for clubs.
Art Shirts – Please can every child bring an old oversized shirt to use as their Art shirt, these can be left in your child’s locker, permanently.
We encourage you to come along to the class meeting on Monday 8th September at either 3.30pm OR 4pm, to find out more about class teachers and the NJS way!
If you have any problems or concerns then please speak to you child’s class teacher or email them on andrew.butler@taw.org.uk , emma.porteous@taw.org.uk or ben.moody@taw.org.uk
kindest regards,
Team Yr 3
