Little Waltham Primary School

Maple Class

Teacher: Miss S Rich

The Year 3 Classroom

This half term, our main topic will be Tectonic Tremors and Fiery Mountains. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be studying plants in science, reading notation in music and food technology in DT. 

Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice. This half term, children will be encouraged to write and practise their speeches for the speech festival as part of their homework.

PE will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. The lessons will focus on netball and gymnastics. Please ensure your child comes to school with a complete PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear. Earrings should always be removed on PE days. Please ensure that girls have spare socks as part of their PE kit if they wear tights - they are required to remove footwear for gymnastics and therefore are unable to keep tights on when changing.

Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference.

As always, we are happy to try and help in any way that we can. Please do not hesitate to come and see us if you require any support.
