Spellings & Homework

Spelling tests will take place on Friday mornings (starting on Friday 25^th September). Spelling lists for the whole half-term can be found on the class page and are also available on Google Classroom.

The homework is now available as a file to download from the class page and can also be found on Google Classroom. Pupils should aim to submit one piece of homework per week online using Google Classrooms. Online feedback will be provided and we will also use the projector screens in class to celebrate other pupils homework achievements and share what has been completed when we are in class.

PE Days

In Year 3 our P.E. days are Wednesday and Friday. The pupils are allowed to come to school wearing sports kit on these days instead of school uniform. As P.E. will now be outdoors for all sessions do not worry about sending the pupils in the usual school P.E. kit, instead ensure they are dressed appropriately for the weather.
