What an amazing start out wonderful year 3 children have made. They've returned to school with such positive attitudes and the biggest smiles on their little faces - it's brilliant to see!

The children have dived deep straight into the year 3 curriculum and are enjoying the way we work at Rosehill and all the active and engaging learning we do. 

Roald Dahl day was amazing. We had some amazing and adventurous costumes. At Rosehill, we love to read and celebrate events like this. 

We have an exciting half-term ahead and cannot wait to see what the children produce. 

 

Notices:

• We still have a number of our parents/carers who have not connected to our class dojo. This is a great resource for parents to see all the wonderful things our classes get up to whilst at school. Please check your emails and get in contact if you have any problems logging in. 
• All children need their PE kit on Monday and Thursday this week. We have had an increasing number of children not bringing kits to school. It is school policy for children to have a change of clothing for PE. Please make sure your child has the correct kit in school. As the weather is unpredictable at the moment, we recommend the children come with a jacket and bottoms for our outdoor sessions as well as their normal PE kit.
• All children need their library books on Wednesday. 
• Parents/Carers should be regularly updating boom reader with the books their child has read at home. This online application has replaced the old style reading journals. If you need any help with this, please pop in and see us and we will help you. We thank all parents for their support with home reading / learning. 
• We have a number of children coming to school in the incorrect uniform. Please can parent/carers ensure children are wearing the correct items. This information can be found on our website or by contacting the school office. 
• The weather is very unpredictable at the moment, so politely ask that children come prepared with hats, water bottles, coats and appropriate footwear. 
• All children have come home with a login for TT Rockstars. This is an application we promote and use a lot in school as it is a fantastic way for children to learn their timetables. Multiplication and timetables are key for your child to become successful in maths. 

This week's learning:

• In English, the children write about a descriptive setting and look at description and up-levelling vocabulary. 
• In Maths, the children are looking at place value and how to partition numbers to 1000. 
• In reading, we are looking at a book called 'The Stone Age Boy' which is linked to our History topic this term.
• In PSHE, we are exploring friendships and what it means to be a good friend.
• History is our wider curriculum focus this half-term, and we are studying what life was like in the Stone Age. 
• In Science, we will be exploring and investigating all about light.
• Computing is back on the weekly timetable and the children will be learning how to use Google Classroom and basic word processing skills.
• In Spanish this half-term, we will be learning salutations and how to greet each other in Spanish.
• PE sees the Y3 children learning basic skills and playing games of Tag Rugby.
