Snowy Owls Y3
Welcome to Snowy Owls!
'In a world where you can be anything, be kind'
Below is the main information you need to know for the second term.
Topic:
This term we will be carrying on with our topic; The Stone Age to Iron Age, where the children will learn all about this prehistoric time when the earliest hunter-gatherers came to Britain.
Homework:
Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
On top of the homework given out on a Friday, it would be great if you could read with your child at least three times per week and sign their reading diaries (they will earn 1 dojo point for every three times they read and have their diaries signed at home.)

Some weeks I will set Times Table Rock Stars as homework. Please let me know if you need your child’s login.
Additional homework will be available on the homework grid. We will display any homework from the homework grid in the classroom.
Spellings:
Spelling tests will be on a Wednesday morning.
PE:
PE this term will be on a Monday and on a Thursday
Please send your child to school dressed in their PE kit. PE Kit should consist of the following: navy, black or grey bottoms (shorts/ joggers/ PE skirt), white T-Shirt and navy, black or grey warm hoodie/ top if required. They need to come to school in their school shoes and have their trainers to change into for PE. This is so that they have clean shoes in the classroom.
Whole Class Reading:
We will finish reading ‘The Last Bear’ by Hannah Gold this term.
It would be great if every child could have their own copy as we will be using it for Guided Reading as well as English.
Here is a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Bear-stunning-childrens-battle/dp/000841131X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1058CX47W1DYE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xpmONvJoVtCyl5jiO0EeMZLImg1MnFxNDOVGtTSuIsFmla56Rt6WfRFK3weq4CUWlJFY2pe8HcjndzAUXt2LX0fzBYmveABO_8ZWCZrvxk7ICYj33Ds0tjeWPjVfhoWckMzBw6hUaawhtgmvhykmw7ScBC6h6yfczZSN10sbAxeam3WVZXKXtZ4qfNw8jdt8agfzj_RpF3uY6oK3TKYA.Nmkg9iZOWEgMSQ03XN2ZPi7WLM6kAHv2Ug5S4HYo8Zc&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+last+bear+hannah+gold&qid=1755772889&sprefix=the+last+bear%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1 (but it could of course be purchased from other retailers).
As the weather turns colder (hopefully not too soon), please can you make sure your child has outdoor shoes or wellies to change into for break and lunch as well as a warm waterproof coat every day.
Our cloakroom is very small in Snowy Owls so please can I ask that the children only bring the essentials into school (book bag, water bottle (water only please) and packed lunch). No big backpacks please.
As the children are now in KS2 they no longer receive a snack at school, so please send them with a healthy snack (fruit, vegetables, plain breadsticks or rice cakes) for break time.
Please catch me at the end of the day or contact me via the office (office@greatmiltonschool.co.uk) if you have any questions or there is anything that you need me to know.
