Welcome to Class 3!

Mrs Williams is the Class Teacher

Welcome back!

I hope you all had an enjoyable summer and are now ready for a new academic year,  I can’t wait  to begin the year with  positive attitudes and  lots o f smiles ! I am holding a ‘Meet the Teacher’  evening immediately after school on Thursday 4th September , this will be particularly useful for the Year 3 children’s parents. It will only be short but a good opportunity to ask any questions or raise any concerns.  

P.E.  These lessons will take place on Tuesday mornings and a second P.E. lesson will take place on Friday afternoons.  Please send P.E. kits and black pumps into school and trainers are optional for outdoor lessons. Thank you.

Spelling Your child will be taught spelling daily in class and bring home a pattern / rule to focus on each week. Their understanding will be assessed each Thursday.  Each child has a green spelling practice book to be taken home each week and spare copies of each groups spellings are always available in class.

Reading— Thank you to so many parents who support your child’s reading at home. Please continue to listen to your child read as often as you can and record this in the Reading Record book. Your child will read with me in a focused Guided Reading group on a weekly basis, as well as on a daily basis within lessons. Each child is responsible for changing their own book when needed, within the stage they are on. We are focusing on detailed understanding and comprehension of texts this year so please try to talk about the main events of the story / characters in the book / where the story takes place/ what will happen next etc. Everyone will be allocated a reading book this week.

Times Tables

Please encourage your child to learn their times tables as we practise them every week, they should have a red practice book to complete at home /in school. The children will be given the opportunity to earn certificates as they progress. Please note it is important they understand the related division facts:    So :  6 multiplied by 3= 18   so     18 divided by 3 = 6

Snacks

Named water bottles and healthy snacks may be bought into school—toast is available for £1.00  a week and  payment  can be done  online.

If you have any questions or concerns, I am available to discuss your child’s  academic or social progress – just call into the office to make an appointment or email me   d.williams@burscough.lancs.sch.uk

Thank you, for your continued support,
