Year 3
Dear Parents/Guardians of Year 3 pupils,
Asalamalaykum and a very warm welcome to Year 3!
The Year 3 teachers are Ustadha Anbrin (3A)and Ustadha Shehrazad (3B).
Context for learning
This first Autumn half term, we are looking at the topic, "Our Bodies". We shall be reading various text, fiction and non-fiction, based around this theme as a means to learn about the topic. We shall continue to build on our 'reading for pleasure' culture in the classroom by reading daily, having a weekly home-school book and accessing our online Bug Club accounts. In topic we shall be building our knowledge about scientific names for bones, how our muscles work, our major organs and our teeth. In Science we shall be conducting experiments to test our bodies and find out more about teeth.
Homework
All pupils have weekly spellings which they are expected to learn.
Weekly Big Maths: Learn it's, Clic and SAFE
Homework will be set using Google Classroom and personal homework books.
We shall also be focusing on times tables and using Times Tables Rock Stars. This term we shall revise 2, 5, 10 and practise 3s. This includes knowing the division facts too e.g. 2x5=10 , 5x2=10, 10 divided by 2 =5,10 divided by 5=2.
A homework choices grid is issued every half term and pupils are expected to complete homework from there, it can be found below and on Google Classroom. I hope you enjoy supporting your child with these activities and take an interest in the topics we explore in school.
Communication
Class Dojo will be updated regularly to keep you up to date with the learning, it will also be used to send out any reminders. You can contact us via the school office or via the ClassDojo app.
P.E.
The children will be doing P.E. on Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing grey jogging bottoms and black trainers on this day. A water bottle is also needed.
With best wishes,
Ustadha Anbrin and Ustadha Shehrazad
