Spring 3
Welcome to Spring 3!
The Staff:
Mrs Sarchet and Mr Amin welcome you to Spring 3. We are always more than happy to speak to you about your child, just catch us at the door at drop off or home time, or call and make an appointment.
The Children:
We call ourselves The Curious and Creative Tribe. We love our learning to be active and engaging. We've explored muscles by making our own hand, wrist and arm! We have learned about rocks and fossils by creating our own using chocolate - we may have eaten them too! We are looking forward to delving into the bronze age, making our own pop-up cards and learning all about magnets.
Together we follow the school vision - eyes wide open, arms outstretched, curious minds aiming high- and create a classroom where every child can thrive and RAISE.
Forest School & PE
Children will have PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays. As our uniform policy states, children are expected to wear their PE uniform and trainers every day for school. This ensures children are able to take part in our Mindful Mile everyday in the appropriate attire.

Our Learning
For our final half term in year three, we have lots of exciting learning to come.
In English we are going to be learning how to write action in a narrative. To help with this we are going to be focusing on a warning text called 'The Canal'.
In maths we are going to be expanding our knowledge of shapes by starting to look at perimeter.
We are going to be showing our uniqueness through still life art, learning how to draw in 3-D, from different angles and using our own items from home to represent us.
In geography we are learning about different land use in both the local area and throughout the UK.
In science, we will be investigating how hand span affects grip strength. However, each lesson will link back to prior learning that has already taken place in year three.
All in all, we have an exciting term ahead.
Look at us in Forest School!
We are reading...
Charlotte's Web by EB White
We read our class novel every day - it's one of our most favourite times! We love reading in Spring 3!
Homework
Homework is an important way for children to practise and build on what they are learning in school. We really value your support in helping to make this a positive and rewarding experience for your child.
Each week, the children will be given spellings to learn. A spelling sheet for the week will be sent home.
Homework will also be set weekly on Emile, our online learning platform. The children have been sent home with their own login details, which they will need to access their tasks. Emile homework will link to their spellings, times tables, and the Maths topic we are covering that week. Please do take the time to sit with your child and discuss their homework with them, as this makes a big difference to their learning.
Children will also bring home Talk Homework each week to help children develop their “sticky knowledge”, they will bring home 3–5 key facts each week to share and talk about with you. Discussing these together really helps them to remember and apply what they’ve learned in class.
Finally, the children will take part in our weekly Map Quest challenge in class. This activity is designed to make geography fun while building the children’s knowledge of places and locations.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your child with their homework — working together makes a real difference. We offer a homework club on Thursday lunch times open to any child in Year 3 who wants extra time or extra help completing their homework.
