Return from Easter Break

Posted: Apr 15, 2023 by: Year 3 (Year 3) on: Year 3 Class Blog

Hi Year 3 and Year 3 grownups!

We can't wait to welcome you back on Monday and hope you've had a well deserved break. Myself and the other Year 3 grownups were so proud of all that you achieved last term. 

We have lots of exciting new learning coming up including; the River Dearne, more Spanish learning, a new unit of narrative writing and further learning of fractions. 

Alongside this, Year 3 have been selected to start swimming lessons on Monday afternoons. Please ensure children arrive at school with their swimming costume, towel and swimming cap in a waterproof bag. If you do not own a swimming cap, these are purchasable at the leisure centre for £2. You can bring this amount along with you on Monday in order to purchase one.

I have attached the timetable for the first week here- WC 17th April.docx

This term we are going to have a big push on handwriting and spelling so this will now be a weekly homework task. Each Wednesday afternoon the children will have a spelling test focusing on Year 3 common exception words. There will be no test this week but one the week after. Spellings to learn are; 

build

guide

fruit

circle

bicycle

accident

actual

straight

weight

height

Additional homework due 24/04/2023 is for children to write a short poem describing a river. This will help with our new story and will be great to showcase on our topic display. Here is an example: 

Have a great evening and see you Monday!

Lots of love, Miss Castleton, Mrs Deakin and Mrs Lambert xx
