Reminders:

We have a number of children who have missing, named uniform items. If you do find you have an item of clothing belonging to another child, please could you return to school and we will reunite it with its owner! Thank you.

- Tuesday is PE day, so please send your child into school wearing their PE kit.

TTRS COMPETITION REMINDERS - We have two upcoming TTRS competitions that we would love the children to take part in.

Top of the Rocks  - 22nd January - 26th January - Year 3 at Upton, Chilton and RAPS are battling against each other.

The winners for this week are:

3B – Rosie

3G – Amelia

3R - Amelia N

3Y – Nancy

 

English

In English this week, we have started writing a non-fiction text about how to care for a tortoise. We have gathered lots of information and practised note-taking to help us with this. Next week we will finish our non-fiction texts and start reading our book for this term 'Esio Trot'. We will be developing our descriptive vocabulary to write a setting description of Mr Hoppy's balcony. 

 

Maths

This week we have consolidated our understanding of length and perimeter and have begun to look at multiplication and division. Next week we will continue our work on multiplication and division, focusing on arrays. 

 

Thematic

In our personal development learning this week, we have focused on the theme of 'kindness'. We thought of ways that we can be even more kind in our day to day lives and created our own 'kindness calendars'. 

Next week, we will start our thematic learning of 'How My Body Works'. 

Homework

- Please read with your child at least 3 times a week.

- Children have now been given their log-in details for Times Table Rock Stars. They should be playing this at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Children have been given a ZPD to help them identify the correct books for their reading level. Once your child has read their book, they will need to complete a quiz on it before getting a new one. These quizzes can be done either in school or at home on Accelerated Reader using the log-in codes found in their reading records.

Welcome (renaissance-go.com) 

- Spelling shed homework has also been set for the children to complete by next Friday.

- Please see the homework menu attached for our thematic homework.

 

We hope that you have a lovely weekend and are looking forward to seeing you all next week!
