Welcome to Year 3!
Mrs Gant and Ms Evason want to say a big welcome back to Butterflies who are beginning their journey as juniors. This year we want to work hard but have lots of fun along the way. Throughout the year our Butterflies will thrive and grow as they develop their confidence and aim high to acheive their full potential.
PE
PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday during Autumn. Children will change on the day so PE kit (coloured T-shirt, black shorts, black pumps) should be in school. No jewellery is to be worn, earrings to be removed, or taped (child’s own tape) if they can’t be removed. Girls – no tights and hair tied back.
If your child has asthma please ensure they have an inhaler in school and let me know.
If your child needs to miss a PE session for any reason (injury or sickness) please send a letter in with them or email me directly. Without a letter the children will need to take part in every PE lesson.
Weekly homework
Homework is going to be slightly different this year. Your child will need to complete TTRS, spellings and reading each week. Homework will be set on a Monday and will need to be completed by the following Monday.
TTRS / Numbots log in details are in the front of homework books. Your child will need to complete 30 minutes each week. This will be checked on Monday morning.
Spellings will be put in the front of homework books at the beginning of each half term. These will need practising 5 times per week and 5 sentences written containing different spellings. Please can all homework be completed in the pencil I have provided, not coloured pencil, pen or felt pen.
Please help your child to read at least 3 times a week. Bonus squares will be given for any extra reading. Their reading record needs to be signed by an adult and the page they are up to written in on the day they read, even if they are on free choice. Books will be checked daily.
We can’t wait to begin our junior adventure and hope your child is also excited about our journey ahead.
Butterflies' class value is Forgiveness.
Butterflies' class author is Jeremy Strong.
Many thanks,
Mrs Gant.
