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?'
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), as well as making sure your child spends some time every week on Times Table Rock Stars.
Suggested Year 3 reading list for children aged 7-8:

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 take place on Friday mornings.
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 would like your child to have their own copy, please do feel free to buy a copy for them to use in class.
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.
