Year 3 and 4
Hello Rowan Class Families,
I hope you have all had a fantastic summer holiday. We are really looking forward to all of the exciting things we have planned this year!
Homework
I will collect homework in on a Thursday and add new tasks ready for your child to bring home on a Friday. Our English homework is a spelling sheet, with spellings relevant to the English or phonics teaching for that week. There will be a dictation on a Friday, so practising at home really helps. Maths homework is either a sheet or an online game on ‘ActiveLearn’. We will have a look at the allocated task each Thursday, that way your child will know which homework they have to complete. You can find the games by following the link below and clicking on' my stuff'.
I will put the login details in on their homework folder once we get going with it.

Reading
We read throughout the week with children in whole class guided reading sessions. The children will also bring home a reading book and a The children will also bring home a library book/reading for pleasure book to share with you. Please make sure library books are returned to school so they can be swapped.
P.E
All children have PE on a Monday. Please make sure your child comes to school in PE kit on this day. Please ensure this is an outdoor kit, jogging bottoms and a jumper are ideal so we can get outside when the weather allows. Unfortunately we don’t have room for rucksacks and backpacks on our pegs, so if you could use school book bags that would be super! If you do not have these, we have some in school so please ask us.
Enrichment Afternoon
On a Friday the children will be split into two groups. One group will be outside in Forest School with Miss Corkin and Mrs Harrison– they will need to come to school in their Forest School clothes on that day. The other group will be with OTIS coaches enjoying sport activities for the afternoon– they will need to be in their PE kit on that day. Miss Doherty will let you know which group your child is in asap. The groups will then swap after half term.
Please come and find me if you have any questions or concerns, after school is usually better, as there is more time to chat- and it's much quieter! You can always make an appointment, see Sue and she will book you in.
Miss Doherty, Mrs Brooks and Mrs Coleman
