Year 3
Weekly Update - Friday 19th December 2025
Summary of this week:
Dear parents and carers,
Firstly, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported the Christmas events this week at school. It has been a fantastic experience for all of our children and all the Christmas activities really make our last week at school special. We would also like to say thank you to everyone for their support over our first term and we hope everyone has a restful and merry Christmas.
Our learning next week:
After half term, we will be starting our unit on further multiplication as well as focusing on key number skills on a daily basis. In English, we will be beginning our unit on instructional writing based on How To Wash a Wolly Mammoth.
In our foundation subjects, we will be swapping our Art and Geography units for D&T and History. In Science, we will be continuing our topic of soil and be conducting experiments to find out which type of soil absorbs the most water.
Homework
Maths homework is handed out every Tuesday. The hand in date is the Friday of each week
A spelling overview is sent out at the beginning of half term to support the children with learning spellings at home.
Please could yellow reading record books remain in school bags and please log any reading you do with your child at home.
Notices & Reminders:
Please re-stock pencil cases with basics such as pencils, whiteboard pens, rubbers, glues etc...
If the children have any over-due library books, please could they return them the first week of the new term.
Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!
