The Summer term is always a busy time for children in Year 3, with lots of new learning taking place as well as consolidating previously taught skills. English and Mathematics will continue to be taught daily and focus on key writing skills and mathematical calculations. Times tables remain a priority, and we would appreciate your help in practising the 4x 3x 8x and 6x tables this term please.
In our Science lessons, we will be completing our unit on ‘Light’, followed by ‘Animals Including Humans’. To enhance this learning we will be visiting Wild Zoo in July (more details to follow).
Our first thematic topic this term is entitled “Picture our Planet', We will introduce this with an Inspiration Day on Monday 8th April 2024 where we would like the children to dress in flag colours or national costume for either Scotland, Fiji or Brazil. In May, the children will have a unique insight into the traditions of Brazil by participating in a Samba drumming workshop. (more details to follow). For more details about our learning this term please see the Curriculum Overview.
PE
Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children will be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions. In colder weather, your child may choose to wear a tracksuit and trainers for outside games, which is acceptable. Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school at all times. PE kits can be purchased from the school office and can be kept in school all week on your child’s peg.
Year 3 PE sessions are:
Class 10: Monday and Tuesday
Class 11: Monday and Tuesday
Class 12: Monday and Thursday
Children in Year 3 receive regular homework. Please practise reading with your child regularly and complete one journal activity weekly. Weekly spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Friday. Children will continue to bring home a purple creative homework book with outlined activities.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher, who will usually be available at the end of each day. We anticipate a busy and exciting term ahead and we thank you in anticipation of your continued support.
