Welcome back!

Welcome back to the Autumn Term.

We hope that you have had a wonderful summer break and are ready for the exciting term ahead!

Your child's Year 3 teachers are Miss Scholten and Mrs Birkett (who will be covering for Mr Shadbolt for the foreseeable future). Working alongside these will be Mrs Fay and Miss Paling.

Our focus topic is the Romans and much of our work will based around this theme.

Please take time to read through the Year 3 newsletter which your child will bring home soon. This will tell you a little more about this term.

The children have settled into year 3 well and are learning new routines.

Year 3's Super Summer Term

Welcome Back!

All of the year 3 team hope you have had a lovely break and didn't eat too much chocolate, it sounds like the children had a eggs-ellent easter!

 This term we are going to be learning all about the Second World War with particular focus on what it would have been like growing up during the war.
We are lucky enough to be going on a trip to Brackenhurst, where the children will be able to experience what it would have been like. It should be a really interesting and exciting day!
We are also going to be learning all about Plants and thinking about their lifecycle and how different plants can survive in different climates. This will also link into their Spanish work where they will be thinking about the Spanish names for the parts of a plant and how they grow.

 Our Summer homework project is very exciting this term as it will be linked to our international links with schools in Columbia and Lebanon!
The children have been set the challenge of creating a homework project that links to an aspect of their life in Nottingham. These can be in collage, picture or written form and should include descriptions of what they like to do in Nottingham. A selection of the work from each year group will then be taken over to Columbia when some members of staff visit later this year!

 Thank you for your support and we look forward to working with you over the course of  the summer term!

We will also be diving into the world of Animal including Humans as we learn all about what our bodies need to survive and the importance of a balanced diet.

Our Spring Homework project this term is for the children to investigate a Caribbean country of their choice, details of which have been sent home.

Key Stage Two Christmas Production

We have begun preparations for the Key Stage Two Christmas production.  This year we are performing The Button Box, which involves learning eight songs! Please help to support your child in learning the words at home.
In order to create space in the hall, we are splitting years 3 and 4 this year.  Remember to check which night your child's class is performing.
Year three are 'Boogie Dancers' so please keep an eye out for a letter coming home in the next week, which will give details of the outfits the children will need to bring in for this.

Thanks for your continued support

The Year 3 team

Welcome to Year 3

The teachers in year 3 this year are Miss Ordoyno and Miss Shore.  Mr Ginns-Farrow is the year 3 teaching assistant and Miss Bell is our Schools Direct student teacher.

For the first two weeks of term we read and produced work based on a book called The Boat, by Helen Ward & Ian Andrew. The children really enjoyed reading this book and produced some fabulous artwork for our display outside the classroom. 

Have a look when you're next in visiting!

Today (07/11/13) we have sent a letter home with your child about their homework project for this half term.  We hope you enjoy supporting your child in producing a festive classroom decoration, with instructions on how to make it! We are looking forward to seeing the children present their homework during the last week of this half term.
