Reminder! – Year 3 need SWIMMING KITS every Monday

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder to make sure your child has their swimming kit every Monday for this half term, starting tomorrow, Monday 3rd November. This comprises of:

  • swimming costume / trunks
  • towel
  • goggles (if required)
  • swimming hat (to prevent filter clogging from hairs).

During the first lesson, children will be assessed and grouped according to ability, and any necessary flotation aids will be provided. Tell them not to worry – it will be very supported. Please approach us tomorrow morning on the playground if you have any concerns.

The Swimming lesson replaces what would normally be the Monday PE lesson for Year 3 children, but we still recommend bringing in PE kit from Mon-Fri, as there have been times when Swimming has not taken place for a variety of reasons, so we have done normal PE lessons instead.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,

The Year 3 Team.

Computing in 3M

Today 3M have worked extremely hard in ICT.

The learning objective was: ‘How am I connected?’

They explained what the word ” connection” means and identified their own personal network.

They then became their own computer network by sending written messages to their classmates without leaving their chairs.

As well, as identifying what the word ” switch” is related to.

Well done 3M!  Mrs Jones
