Early Morning activities

Your child will be expected to come into the classroom, put their things away and start their morning task. The class morning tasks will include maths, English, editing work, spelling, reading and problem solving. Some children may also have personalised early morning work which focuses on a specific target they have.

Expectations

Each day, we expect the children to come into school wearing the Bramley School Uniform. We advise them to bring in a named water bottle. All jumpers/cardigans should be named. Children are not allowed pencil as we do provide everything the children need.

P.E. We do have set PE days each week, however if we are unable to complete outdoor PE on the specific day we may move it to another time. Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit in a named bag. Children are expected to bring in their PE on a Monday and take it home on a

• Friday. This term Indoor PE is on Wednesday and outdoor PE is on Monday.

• essential. Plain navy or black tracksuits (without obvious logos) may be worn in

cold weather.

Homework Guidance

We expect all children to complete the MUST section but provide opportunities for children to move their learning forward with challenges if they finish the first task quickly. If you are unsure about any homework. We are happy to explain! There is also some information and help in children’s planners.

Overview

Autumn 1 Autumn 2 Spring 1 Spring 2 Summer 1 Summer 2 Planet Earth Victorians Ancient Egypt – How can we walk like an Egyptian? Light and Shadow – Who is afraid of the big bad wolf? What is the story of the river? What’s amazing about St Lucia?

Year 3 Autumn Topic

Planet Earth

We have started the term by exploring rocks. During the term we will be learning about how rocks, soils and fossils are formed and how this effects the Earth. During the topic we will be going on a school trip to Stonehenge – information to follow.

Outcome events

Each term, we will have an outcome event based on the topic the children have been learning about. Parents are invited in so that children can share their work. We may also have additional activities that parents can help their child with. These events usually take place at 2.30pm. Here is an example of our Year 3

• utcome events:

Autumn 1- Planet Earth Documentaries Spring 1- Light and Shadow Puppet Show Summer - TBC

Year 3 School Trips

We will be going on a school trip to Stonehenge on Wednesday 17th October. In the Summer Term we will also be going on a school trip to Gilbert White’s house to visit the river.

Please help us with Art Shirts and Newspaper!

The children wear protective clothing for Art & Craft, Food Technology and some elements of Design Technology work. Children may bring their own art overall or old shirt to wear. Again these should be clearly marked with the child’s name. We appreciate newspapers to cover our tables but please can you take out inappropriate pages first.
