Snowy Owls Y3
Welcome to Snowy Owls!
'In a world where you can be anything, be kind'
Welcome back to Term 4!
I hope you have all had a relaxing half term.
This term we will be practising the Easter Play with Boreal Owls. Dates for the performances are Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th March, both at 2.15pm. Scripts were sent home before half term for those with speaking parts.
If your child has a speaking part, it would be very helpful if you could help them learn their lines.
Items of clothing the children will need for the play will be sent home in the next couple of weeks.
We have booked a school trip to Sutton Courtney in the summer term with Elf Owls. More information will be sent out after the Easter Holiday.
I can't wait to hear all about your holiday when I see you on Monday.
Below is the main information you need to know for the third term.
Topic:
This term will carry on learning about the Roman Empire. I love all the home learning that has been sent in, and it makes our display in the classroom look great.
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.)
Some weeks I will set Times Table Rock Stars as homework. Please let me know if you need your child’s login.
Additional homework will be available on the homework grid. We will display any homework sent in from the homework grid in the classroom.
Spellings:
Spellings will be sent home every week.
Spelling tests will be on a Wednesday morning.
PE:
PE this term will be on a Monday (basketball) and a Thursday (gymnastics).
Please send your child to school dressed in their PE kit. PE Kits 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.
Whole Class Reading:
We will finish off reading ‘The Fireworkmaker's Daughter' by Philip Pullman this term.
As it is usually cold, wet and muddy at this time of year, please can you make sure your child has outdoor shoes or wellies to change into for break and lunch, as well as a warm coat every day.
Our cloakroom is very small in Snowy Owls, so please can I ask that the children only bring the essentials to school (book bag, water bottle (water only please) 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, rice cakes or breadsticks) 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 us to know.
