Year 3
Class Letter Spring Term 2012
2nd January 2012
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year to you all!
This is a really good time of year to knuckle down to some structure and hard work after all the festivities and rest! Here are our term’s topics.
For Numeracy, please see the termly Target Sheet in the ‘parents’ section of the school website. Any practise could be recorded in homework books. May I reiterate how important KNOWING the times tables is.
In Literacy, we are being introduced to Michael Morpurgo’s stunning writing with our unit on Authors & Letters followed by Adventure and Mystery writing. After the February break, we shall be reading and writing Instructions and enjoying Poetry.
In Science we shall be looking at Materials and Plants.
We shall be Exploring Lowry and drawing figures for Art. Please ensure that your child’s painting apron is in his/her PE bag. DT next half term will be Sandwich Snacks.
ICT will involve Using Email and Manipulating Sound.
This will complement our Music, Exploring Rhythmic Patterns.
We shall finish looking Africa at in Geography.
After the half term holiday, History will entail work on the Ancient Egyptians.
In RE we shall be looking at theme of salvation in a secular as well as religious context.
Homework will continue to be set every Friday and handed in every Thursday. Although most pupils succeed in this, a few are still not in the good habit. Please support your child with regular reading. Thank you for all your support.
Our Class Assembly will be on Thursday, 12th January at 3.10pm.
Thank you for the very generous messages and gifts that Miss Reid and I received for Christmas. They are all much appreciated and, with advice to no longer send individual cards, we both want to pass on our gratitude.
Thanks for your continued support with everything. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any queries.
Mrs. Hassett & Miss Reid.
