Snowy Owls Y3
Welcome to Snowy Owls!
'In a world where you can be anything, be kind'
Below is the main information you need to know for Term 6, our last term together.
I hope you have all had a great sunny half-term break.
This term is always very busy, Sports Day is on the 19th June and the KS2 Camp Out on the 26th June.
Any questions, just catch me at the end of the day as always.
Topic:
For the last two terms we will be learning about Rivers and our Local area.
Homework:
Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
On top of the homework given out on a Friday, it would be great if you could read with your child at least three times per week and sign their reading diaries (they will earn 1 dojo point for every three times they read and have their diaries signed at home), as well as making sure your child spends some time every week on Times Table Rock Stars.
Suggested Year 3 reading list for children aged 7-8:

Additional homework will be available on the homework grid. We will display any homework from the homework grid in the classroom.
Spellings:
Spelling tests will be on a Wednesday morning.
PE:
PE this term will be on a Thursday.
Please send your child to school dressed in their PE kit. PE Kit should consist of the following: navy, black or grey bottoms (shorts/ joggers/ PE skirt), white T-Shirt and navy, black or grey warm hoodie/ top if required. They need to come to school in their school shoes and have their trainers to change into for PE. This is so that they have clean shoes in the classroom.
We will also spend 5-10 min most days doing some running, so make sure you have trainers in school every day.
Whole Class Reading:
For the next two terms we will be reading The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. It would be great if every child could have their own copy of this book.
Please can you make sure your child has outdoor shoes or wellies to change into for break and lunch, as well as a waterproof coat every day (a spare pair of socks in your bag can also be very handy). On hot and sunny days, put suncream on before you come to school. Bring suncream in your bag if you need to reapply it at lunchtime and make sure you have a hat and refillable water bottle in school every day.
Our cloakroom is very small in Snowy Owls, so please can I ask that the children only bring the essentials into school. A book bag, water bottle (water only please, and please use a small water bottle, not the very large bottles that have become popular as we don't have the space for them) and packed lunch. No big backpacks please.
As the children are now in KS2 they no longer receive a snack at school, so please send them with a healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, plain breadsticks or rice cakes) for break time.
Please catch me at the end of the day or contact me via the office (office@greatmiltonschool.co.uk) if you have any questions or there is anything that you need me to know.
