Please send your child in their PE kit on the days they do PE. For Y3K this will be on a Monday and a Thursday. For Y3C it will be on a Monday and a Wednesday.

PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.

Homework will be given on Fridays to reflect the week’s learning, in Maths, spellings and handwriting. We recommend spending no more than 20 - 30 minutes on homework per night. Children will also practise spellings and take part in the Grand Spell each week. 

Please check this page regularly as we will be posting updates on there as well as the school website.

Please make sure that aside from completing homework, your child is reading for a minimum of 10 minutes every night. If you have any concerns about your child’s homework, please speak to Mrs Coyle or Mr Kendrick

What We Are Learning About - Autumn 1

In Religion, we will develop our understanding of the Christian duty of parents towards their children and children towards their parents. 

Throughout the year, children will be taking part in masses and services to mark their Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. As part of their Sacramental journey, the children will be required to attend some Sunday masses throughout the year. Dates to follow.

In Maths, we will be looking at Place Value. Within this we will be focusing on ones, tens and hundreds by partitioning, comparing and ordering.

In Science, the children will work scientifically on a variety of quick challenges and longer tasks to learn about food and their bodies. This topic looks at where animals get food from and why it is important, and skeletons, muscles and joints.

In Geography, we will begin to understand the Earth better as a sphere, learning to rotate it mentally in 3-D. They will explore its representation in 2-D maps, and learn about the imaginary lines used (Equator, latitude, longitude, tropics and the International Date Line) to pinpoint global locations.
