Hello everyone and welcome to Year 3
The Year 3 team includes: Mrs Spinks, Miss Brown, Miss Parry, Miss Lau, Mrs Williams and Miss Peacock. We are really excited to work with you this year and are looking forward to getting to know your children.
Contact Details:
PE will be on a Monday and Tuesday. Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kit in accordance with the uniform policy on these days. They will also need a pair of pumps for indoor PE, which should be kept in a labelled bag on their peg.
We will be visiting the library on a Thursday. Your child will bring home a library book and their Reading Practice book on this day. All children will choose a new Reading Practice book, based on their current reading level, on a Thursday. They should bring this book and their planner with them to school each day. We would also ask that any reading practice completed at home is entered into the planner.
Please ensure that your child has a suitable coat for the Autumn weather. The only things your child needs to bring are a school rucksack (or similar small bag), a school water bottle (available from the school office), their reading books, planner and a fruit or veg snack for breaktime if they would like.
We will be available after school if you have any questions, via email at the Enquiry address or via phone. Thanks, The Year 3 Team.
