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 Term 1, our first term together.
I hope you have all had a great holiday.
Term starts on Thursday 3rd September. I look forward to meeting you all!
Topic: History
Our topic question is: 'Would you have preferred to live in the Stone Age, Bronze Age, or Iron Age?'
Reading:
Please encourage your child to read to you regularly. We ask that you sign the Reading Record at least 3 times a week. It doesn't need to be for very long, little and often can really make a difference.
Suggested Year 3 reading list for children aged 7-8:

Forest School:
Forest school will be on a Wednesday.
Please can children come to school in their school uniform and have their forest school clothes to change into.
Please make sure they have a waterproof coat and trousers (if available) and wellies or outdoor shoes. They should also have a long sleeved top and trousers, tracksuit bottoms or leggings. As it gets colder, make sure the children have enough layers to keep them warm outside. We will be outside in all weathers.
PE:
PE will be on Mondays and Fridays.
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.
We will also spend 5-10 min most days doing some running, so make sure you have trainers in school every day.
Whole class reading:
For the next two terms we will be reading The Last Bear by Hannah Gold. If you are able to provide a copy for school, that would be really helpful and beneficial to your child's reading development.
Clothing for all weathers:
Please ensure your child comes to school with a waterproof coat every day, and a hat on hot days. They also need a pair of outdoor shoes or wellies to change into for break and lunch, plus a spare pair of socks to keep in their bag. On sunny days, please apply sun cream before school and pack a named bottle in their bag if they need to reapply it at lunchtime.
Classroom essentials and bags:
Our cloakroom is very small, so please do not send children in with big backpacks. Instead, they only need to bring a standard bag, a packed lunch, and a small, refillable water bottle (water only, please).
Break time snacks:
In KS2, pupils no longer receive school-provided snacks. Please send your child in 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.
