Hello all, 

Welcome to Year 3!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you all to Year 3 and I hope you all had a wonderful break over the summer.

The children and I have had a wonderful week getting to know each other and the routines of Year 3.

Meet The Teacher

Next week we are holding a Meet the Teacher evening on Wednesday 8th September. The meetings should last around 30 mins. They will take place at 16:30 and 17:30. These meetings are optional, you do not need to attend both. 

Spellings

No spellings have been sent home this week. Spellings will be sent home next week and the test will take place the following week. The children will have the opportunity to practice these during morning work, however, if you could also support children with learning their spellings this will allow the children to really consolidate their learning.

PE Timetable

Monday PM (30 minutes - trainers only).

Wednesday PM (1 hour - full kit) [Football. Separate kit. Please send the children in with appropriate clothing to play football in, this does not have to be an official Little Heath PE kit. This will get muddy – please send the children in warmer kits as the weather worsens].
