Welcome back to Spring 1  

 

 Our topic question is: 'How significant was the discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb?'

 

  

This half term, we will be learning about the 'Ancient Egyptians', we learn about all of the significant inventions made during this time, we will explore the discovery of King Tut's untouched tomb and why it was so important. We will create Egyptian collages and Egyptian magazines in Computing.

PE and Outdoor Learning

In the summer term, PE takes place on a Tuesday afternoons and Alternate Wednesday mornings. PE kits consist of PLAIN black shorts or jogging bottoms, PLAIN white t-shirt, and trainers. 

 

This year, children will need to come to school in their school uniform and bring their PE kit to get changed into. Children will also need to bring their Outdoor Learning kit to get changed into with wellies in a separate bag.

 

This is the schedule for this Spring 1  term:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Homework in Year 3

Each week, we ask that all children read with somebody at home at least three times a week. This could be any adult or an older sibling or friend. Please sign their diary and add a comment. Every little bit of reading really does help children on the learning journey. We also ask that the children practise their weekly spellings which can be found below. We conduct a spelling quiz each week as part of a dictation lesson, and these words form part of our English teaching for the week. A vital aspect of Maths is that the children have a secure recall of times tables so we ask that they spend some time each week on TT Rockstars practising these.

 

Also, in the Spring Term we will be introducing the use of Homework books below. The homework will be set on a Friday and will need to be returned by Wednesday.
