English

In English, we will be looking at the fiction book 'Orion and the Dark'. The first piece of writing that the children will be completing is a detailed explanation about why the character is scared of the dark. The children will then write a letter of persuasion from the dark to Orion about why he does not need to be scared.

What You Need to Know

Please send your child in their PE kit on the days they do PE. For Y3K this will be on a Monday and a Thursday. For Y3A it will be on a Monday and a Wednesday.

PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.

Homework will be given on Fridays to reflect the week’s learning, in Maths, spellings and handwriting. We recommend spending no more than 20 - 30 minutes on homework per night. Children will also practise spellings and take part in the Grand Spell each week.
