Hello all!

 

We have had a good week and the children are starting to get back into their routines. The children enjoyed our ‘take one picture’ week – they have produced wonderful pieces of art and research on the painting, as well as some Tahitian dancing. 

 

Homework

No spellings will be sent home this week. Spellings will be sent home the next week. The spelling test will be on Monday afternoons. The children will have the opportunity to practise their spellings during morning work, however, if you could also support children with learning their spellings this will allow the children to really consolidate their learning.

We are currently in the process of reviewing our reading scheme in year 3 to make it similar to the system that was used in Year 2. During this week and next the children are being assessed in their reading. This is why the children have not been sent home with reading books yet. Hopefully this will be up and running by next week. Until then, please ensure the children are all reading at home still.
