Year 3 - Beech

Dear Beech Class,

Welcome to our class page! I'm extremely excited for the year ahead and I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you! I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 3rd September!

Water bottles:

Please bring your water bottle every day and take it home every evening. Water can be accessed during lessons at all times (the children will be aware that this should not interrupt their listening and completion of tasks/activities) and can be used at lunchtimes.

P.E.: 

This term, Beech's P.E. will be on Monday (outdoor) and Wednesday (indoor) afternoons. On these P.E. days, children must come to school in their P.E. kit. Please ensure correct Balliol P.E. kit is worn and, in colder weather, that warm long-legged and long-sleeved clothing is provided, alongside appropriate footwear.

The School App 

We use this to send home important information and to keep you up to date.  Please consider downloading this (if you do not already have it) so that you don't miss anything important.  

Homework: 

We appreciate and thank you for all the support you give to the children in relation to their home learning.  Below is what we hope is useful information for you to continue with this support.

Reading: Children will have a reading book to take home to share and read with you. They will be able to change these throughout the week, Please listen to your child read as often as possible for 10-15 minutes at least 3-4 times a week. 

Spellings: Children will have new spellings every week with a dictation test on Fridays. Spellings will of course be available on this class page so please encourage your child to practise at home regularly too! 

Times tables: these help with so many areas of maths; please encourage your child to practise 10-15 minutes every day. (TT Rockstars) 

MyMaths: All usernames and passwords can be found in reading record, please use MyMaths to further knowledge through games and complete tasks. 

Maths and English: We will continue to set children homework in their CGP SPAG and Maths books based on their learning from the week. This will be set on a Friday and expected back in the following week to be marked. The pages that children need to complete are listed on the inside of the front cover, please ensure children do not do more pages than this. 

Billie The Dog 

Billie went on her first holiday. She had a wonderful time playing on the beach, especially in the sea. Billie also went on a train and a ferry!
