Outdoor play times and learning:
We often have the opportunity to take our learning outside, or get an extra play time! Please can children come into school prepared for the cold weather with a suitable coat every day. Children can bring boots into school for playtimes. If they come to school in boots, please bring in school shoes that they can change into. Gloves and hats are a good idea too - names in all of these please!

PE
Our PE sessions are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure the correct kit is worn on these days and should take into account colder weather by wearing jogging bottoms and sweatshirts. A reminder that only red shorts and white t shirts for indoor sessions and red, grey or black joggers and sweatshirts for outdoor PE sessions. Also, no logos. If your child has their ears pierced, they must be removed before school if they cannot take them out by themselves. Long hair must also be tied back.
Spellings and Times Tables
Spellings and times tables will be tested on a weekly basis. Children do have the opportunity to practise these in school, however, there is an expectation that practising will continue at home to boost their success. Children receive stickers, certificates and rewards when they achieve their individual targets. This is completed on a Tuesday each week.
Homework
Homework is due in on Mondays. There will be a rotation of Maths, English and Learning log style homework with a week to practise times tables and spellings. Reading records can be found in the small books and should be signed to show how many times your child has read - at least four times a week. Homework is given out again on Tuesdays. We occasionally have an online homework. Please let us know if you are unable to provide access to your child to complete this homework, as we can provide paper copies if necessary.
Each term we also invite children and parents to join together for a parent - pupil project. It is a great opportunity to create something special with your child. We have had paint, wood, cardboard and even cake used as building materials! The only restriction will be the size of your project.

Our Class Charter
In 3G we have discussed what it means to be a successful learner. We use our thinking skills characters and our core values to set out our ideas. Our favourite is Yeti! Ask your children to tell you why we love him so much! |

Spring Term
Rainforests |
We have been enjoying learning about life in the Amazon rainforest this term. Our writing has taken us on some great adventures with our class books, The Explorer and The Great Kapok Tree. We have been learning about the animals and the plants that can be found in the rainforests and have even created our own creatures for homework. We have painted in the style of Henri Rousseau and sewed a poison dart frog.
Autumn Term
|
|
One of our favourite topics in middle school is Ancient Egypt. We look at all aspects of life for the Egyptians during this amazing era in history. Studying their home life, worship, the importance of the River Nile and of course, the mummification process! Our theme work includes writing stories, creating our own Egyptian Gods and Goddesses and 3D work in art using clay. We will keep you posted as the term progresses.

Thank you to all of you for helping your children with their parent, pupil project this term. We have already had such a brilliant response and I know we still have many more to come. All of them are so original and so very creative!
Science
Our topic for science is rocks and soils - this also includes looking at the fossilisation process too. We have been able to see a variety of different rock types and have had a hands on approach to identifying them.

P.E.
We have been learning new skills through REAL PE and putting them into practice with basketball. Children are able to demonstrate their skills and bring them together with mini - matches at the end of half term.
