Year 3
Week beginning 6th May
How are we on week 4 of this term already?
A HUGE well done to Biscay class for their incredible performances in their worship. As a school, we are so proud of them and the kind, happy and positive people they are.
Worship Theme - Forgiveness
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Matthew 18: 21-22 "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'"

Homework:
Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of the page and letters will be sent home this week too, regarding this.
The children received their homework last week. Please choose at least two tasks to complete over the course of our project. The children are welcome to complete more if they wish. We look forward to seeing what they produce in our homework museum on the Monday 20th May 2024.
Remember, MyMaths tasks will be set each week as identified in the weekly web update. Please ensure that you do the tasks set for the week. Remember, you also have access to Timetables Rockstars, too. We would like for the children to practice a soundcheck each time they use TTRS as a way of imitating the Y4 timetable test which they will do next year. They can also practice garage which is controlled by your child teacher who can give them access to the timetables they are personally working on.
We also encourage children to practice our weekly spellings at home as well as the Y3/4 common exception words.
Reading:
We would love to see Year 3 using their extra time at home to read some brilliant books. If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket. Please therefore keep a quick record in reading logs – your children can write the title in to help! We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school everyday.
Coming up:
-
PE days – Please ensure the children are dressed in PE kit every Friday
-
Biscay Class Worship - Thursday 2nd May
-
Class Photos with Frazer Portraits - Monday 20th May
Many thanks for all of your support,
Miss Finnigan and Miss Lunn
