Welcome to Willow class page! 

Welcome back! 15.4.24

Welcome back! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable Easter break. It was lovely to see the children back in today, full of smiles, ready for this term's learning- our summer term plan is attached below, feel free to take a look!

Please ensure you are listening to your child read daily- we do try to listen to as many children as we can in school. Children should also be practicing their weekly spellings which come home with their homework each week. Thank you for your support with this. 

Your child should have come home with two letters today- one regarding watching PG rated films (related to our English for this term) and one regarding relationships education. Feel free to catch me for a chat about either of those letters, should you have any concerns or questions. 

Thank you, your ongoing support is greatly appreciated!

Design and Technology- 22.3.24

The children thoroughly enjoyed programming their Micro:bits yesterday in DT! It was amazing to see their programming and coding skills being used to design and create a piece of wearable technology. Well done Willow class! 

World Book Day - 7th March 2024

Please see some photos below of the children in their wonderful costumes for World Book Day 2024! We had an author visit via Zoom today from John Patrick Green, the author of the "Investi-gators" book series. The children really enjoyed finding out how he became an author and an illustrator. Keep up the fantastic reading, Willow class! 

5/3/24- Please find our spellings for the rest of this term below. Your child will have their number of spellings highlighted in their homework book each week.

It is also important that children are reading and being listened to every day. We do try to do this in school also, however please do continue to listen to your child read, even if it is only one or two pages each night.

As you may already know, parents evening is coming up on Monday 18th March 2024, from 1-7pm. I am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress and learning! To book an appointment, please log in to Horizons and choose a slot. 

Thank you for your ongoing support with your child's homework and learning. Any questions, feel free to grab me for a chat.

26/1/24- In design and technology, we have been learning about information design and are in the process of designing an electronic poster about the Romans! Today, we explored electrical items, components and circuits. These will be used in our electronic posters. More photos to follow once the posters are complete! 

24/1/24- In history, we are learning about the Romans. Today, Willow class designed and made some Roman style shields, ready to be used in our next history lesson! 

Homework reminder- Children will have homework sent home every Wednesday in their homework book with their weekly spellings. Homework will need to be completed and returned by the following Tuesday (the original hand in date was Monday).

Homework is a crucial part of the children's learning, as it consolidates previous learning or introduces them to a new topic or idea. Homework club is on every Friday, whereby the children are supported in completing their homework with Mrs Wilson. To sign your child up for this, please visit the office.

Thank you for your ongoing support with your child's learning.

Welcome back! 9/1/24

Welome back to school! Firstly, I would like to congratulate year 3 once again for putting on an amazing Christmas performance- they worked so hard and myself and Miss Atkinson are immensely proud of them, as we are sure you are too.

We hope you had a restful, safe and enjoyable break.

This term, there are lots of exciting learning opportunities for the children and even a visit from Lullingstone Roman Villa!  

Just a quick reminder regarding reading books. Please ensure you are listening to your child read daily. This only needs to be one or two pages of their reading book, and if you could note this down in your child's reading record too, that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your ongoing support and if you have any questions feel free to catch me for a chat!

As you may already be aware, year 3 put on a Christmas performance each year. Every child has now been given a part and have a script with their lines highlighted. Your child should bring their script and song words home every night to practice and learn their lines for the performance. We are practicing in school daily, however, your support with helping your child learn their lines ready for the performance is greatly appreciated.

Kew Gardens School Trip

Just a quick reminder- Our trip to Kew Gardens is on Thursday 12th October 2023. Please send your child to school in school uniform for easy identification, comfortable trainers and a packed lunch, unless they are entitled to free school meals. Children can bring up to £5 spending money for the gift shop. Please ensure your child also brings a water bottle with them, ideally a plastic one which can be thrown away with their lunch.

Many thanks, Miss Fulling.

20.9.23

Welcome to the Willow class page!

Welcome back! This year, Miss Fulling and Miss Atkinson will be working with you throughout year 3. We are both very excited and looking forward to an amazing year ahead. Please see above for a copy of our term 1 plan. 

Important notices: 

• Our PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Children need to come into school in their PE kit ready for the lesson.
• Homework will come home every Wednesday and needs to be completed and returned by the following Monday.
• Children are also expected to read at home and practice their spellings throughout the week. This does not have to be strenuous or long, it could be five minutes each night just going through their spellings of the week and reading for a few minutes.
• Your child's TimeTable Rockstars login will be given to them in their homework book, as well as their Lexia login, which can both be accessed from home. 

If you have any questions or queries, feel free to catch me for a chat after school. 

School trips: 

I am pleased to announce that we have two exciting trips booked for this year! The dates for these are as follows:

• Kew Gardens- Thursday 12th October 2023- This trip relates to the children's art lessons, where they will be looking at botanical drawings and shading. This trip will allow the children to observe and sketch different plants and flowers, enhancing their brilliant drawing, sketching and shading skills. The cost of this trip is £28. 

• Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studios- Thursday 16th May 2024- In term 3, the children will be immersed into the magical world of Harry Potter, with both the books and the films being used to enhance their writing and drama in English. We have booked a workshop, which focuses on the art of foley (how sound affects are made for films!). The children will get a chance to be a foley artist and make sound effects for clips of the films. Children will also complete the studio tour. This day will be slightly longer (Children need to be in school by 8:30am and will return by 5:30pm). 

The total cost for the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio tour trip in May 2023 is £32. The school and INEOS money have put £300 towards this trip to help reduce the cost. There is an option to pay for this trip in monthly installments.
