Covid 19 Daily update

If you are a keyworker and have been given permission for your child to attend school , please ensure there is no other option before sending your child to school.

Gavin Williamson (Secretary of State for Education) has sent out the following message.
“You should only send your child to school if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response. If you are able to keep your child at home you should.”

Schools are closed to stop the spread of the virus. Please remember this, children already off school due to the closure should be social distancing and not mixing outside school.

Thank you to all those keyworkers who have sorted additional childcare or only taken up the days they really need to.
If you are a keyworker and have been told that you can bring your child to school but have now been able to sort childcare on all or some of the days offered, please let us know as soon as possible.

The school has the right to and may ask that your employer confirms in writing that, based on their business continuity arrangements, your specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service.

Year 3 2019 - 2020

Mrs Smith

Teaching staff

Welcome to the spring term in Year 3!

Our whole school spring term topic is 'Timeline' and Year 3 will learning about changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

We will begin our topic in the Early Stone Age with a history workshop with a visiting expert to launch our new topic. It is an interactive morning, divided into two practical sessions with break/playtime in between, covering archaeology, chronology, evidence-based learning, Palaeolithic lifestyles, and hands-on history including artefact handling and recording.

Have a look at our topic web for the term to see what we have planned. The topic web is a working document and can be amended as our interests develop, so if you can help us in our quest to give the children a Primary Education they will never forget, rich with diverse opportunities and experiences, please share your expertise and ideas with us.

As a class, we have discussed and chosen a range of activities to be included in our takeaway homework that support our topic.

Our scheduled PE days are a Wednesday and Friday, but we ask that you ensure your labelled kit is in school throughout the week as we aspire to be as active as we can and some weeks these days may differ.

Please can you also ensure that the children have art shirts in school. An old, oversized T-shirt is perfect. We will be using acrylic paints, so it is important that the children’s clothes are well protected.

Each child should bring their diary and current reading book to school every day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child at the end of the school day.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Mrs. Smith
