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 third term.
I would like to wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2026!
Thank you so much for the generous gifts and cards, they were very much appreciated.
I can't wait to see you on Monday 5th January to continue our Year 3 journey together.
Topic:
This term our topic will be The Romans. We will look at the Roman Empire and its impact on 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:
For the next two terms we will be reading The Firework Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. I have enough copies for one between two in school, but please feel free to buy a copy if your child would like to have their own copy.
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 (a spare pair of socks in your bag can also be very handy).
Our cloakroom is very small in Snowy Owls, so please can I ask that the children only bring the essentials into school. A book bag, water bottle (water only please, and please use a small water bottle, not the very large bottles that have become popular as we don't have the space for them) 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.
