Y3 - P 2024 - 2025
Ms Peel
Welcome to 3P!
This year your class teacher is Miss Peel. We will also have Mr Gomersall teaching RE and Ms Shepherd teaching French.
We have lots of exciting learning opportunities planned this year and are looking forward to welcoming you back into the classroom and into Year 3!
Swimming
Year 3 will be swimming in the Autumn term on Monday. Please come to school with your child's swimming kit in a bag, which should include: a swimming costume/trunks (not a two piece suit), a swimming cap and a towel. If your child wears earrings, they need to be taken out before their swimming lesson.
PE will be on Mondays from Spring term. Please ensure your child is dressed in their PE kit and black trainers or pumps.
Homework
Homework books with a retrieval task relating to a recent learning topic will be given to your child each Friday as well as MyMaths homework and new spellings. These should be completed and handed in by Tuesday and spellings will be tested on Fridays. If homework has not been set in the homework book, please check SeeSaw for any alternative tasks that may have been assigned. Remember, children are awarded 3 dojos for each completed homework!
Maths homework will be set via MyMaths: https://www.mymaths.co.uk/
Spelling homework will be set via Spelling Shed: https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/login/school
Timestable practice: https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/18591
SeeSaw for some items of homework: https://app.seesaw.me/#/student/login
Logins will be put into reading records once children have settled in to school. If any logins are lost, please ask your child to inform Miss Peel and they can be replaced as soon as possible.
Reading
Reading is a very important aspect to learning throughout school. We encourage reading every night to support your child's learning. When your child reads, record and sign this in their reading records.
Please send reading bags into school every day so we can ensure your child can change books when required. Reading records will be checked every Friday, with reading stickers being given to children who read at least 5 nights a week for ten minutes. We are very excited to begin our new Reading Peaks Challenge this year, where children will venture across the world's highest mountains as they achieve their weekly reading stickers. As with our previous Reading Rainbow, children will recieve rewards after a certain number of weeks of reading. The new template will be found inside your child's reading records and we hope this challenge makes home reading even more exciting!
Pupils are invited to complete Accelerated Reader quizzes after each book they have read. These will be completed independently as soon as your child arrives to class. Pupils can then choose a new book from our class library, school library or our reading spine. You can also find e-books for free from the Liverpool Library website.
Your support with reading is greatly appreciated!
10 top tips for parents to support children to read
Please ensure your child's uniform and PE kit is labelled to prevent any items being lost.
If you have any questions I am available at the end of the school day. Please find this term's Knowledge Organisers and long term plan below. These can be used to supplement learning at home and to give you an idea of all the fantastic things we will be learning over the next several weeks.
I look forward to working with you this year!
