St Matthew's CofE Primary SchoolYear 3 2019 - 2020
Miss Garner
Welcome to Year 3
Welcome to a brand new year at St. Matthew's!
Everybody in the year 3 team is very excited to get started and we have some wonderful things planned this year.
House Keeping - I do expect all children in full uniform, we understand that there are certain circumstances that may stop this, however, if a child comes into school wearing trainers they will be asked to wear their pumps in school until new school shoes can be provided.
This half-term we will be looking at the Topic 'Brilliant Britain' and trying to answer the question 'What makes Britain Brilliant?' This is a Geography focus and we will be exploring maps and multiple sources.
Reading Partnership will be sent home weekly (starting the week beginning 23/09/19) on your child's designated day, you will have at least two days to complete this but all MUST be back by the following Monday for the next Reading Partnership session.
See Reading Partnership general timetable below - we will aim to stick to this timetable, however, on busy weeks or in the event of unforeseen circumstances then your child's day may be altered (under these circumstances I'm not expecting homework back on a usual day, but rather the following Monday for a fresh week.)
| Group | Date to be returned |
| Diamonds | Wednesday |
| Rubies | Wednesday |
| Opals | Thursday |
| Garnets | Thursday |
| Emerald | Friday |
| Sapphires | Friday |
If anyone is struggling with their homework or has been unable to do their homework that week, please let me know and I will work through it with them in school.
There will also be Spelling and Maths/Literacy homework sent home once a week on a Monday to be returned on Friday. The class should also be reading every night at home and recorded in your reading record - I will be checking this on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday with either a purple (read) or green (not read) signature.
Our P.E. days this half term are every Tuesday Morning and Thursday afternoon, the children will need to bring in sensible shoes, a white t-shirt and black shorts or jogging bottoms.
In Year 3 I have an open-door policy! If you have any questions, could help with our learning or want to speak to me or a member of the team for any reason please don't hesitate to speak to us on the door or by phone. We do find this easier after school as we have more time to chat but, please, if there is anything you need urgently we are happy to talk before!
Warm regards the Year 3 team,
Miss Garner, Mrs Harper, Mrs Brown and Miss Jones. :)
