Welcome to 3R

Teacher: Mrs Pidcock

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Beetham

Welcome to Class 3R

Our Class Teacher is Mrs Pidcock and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Beetham. Our Curriculum Overview for the year has been added to this page. You can find our welcome to Year 3 powerpoint below, which will hopefully answer any questions that you may have.

We are delighted to now have access to our ramp at the back of the classroom. Please note that the children will be dismissed from this door now at 3.20pm at the end of each school day. 

If you need to have a quick word with a member of staff, please see them at school pick up, at the end of the day, or speak with a member of staff at the office, in the main building, at drop off, in a morning. Anything that may require a longer conversation should take place in a pre-arranged meeting. Please contact the school office to make an appointment.

Homework 

The children will be set homework on a Friday which is to be handed in by the following Wednesday. All children will be given paper copies of homework and will be provided with a folder to keep them in. Please make sure that your child returns their homework in the folder so that the next week's homework can be placed inside to take home. 

Spellings

The children will be given weekly spellings to practise at home. Please ensure that your child is practising them as often as possible. Children will write their spellings down in their spelling book (which will remain in school) and they will also write their spellings down in the back of their home reading record so that they can practise them at home. Spellings will be set on a Friday and the children will be tested on the following Friday. 

Reading

Your child will be given a new reading record at the start of the academic year. Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and reading record to school everyday. Children can change their home reading book on any day of the week. If your child needs to change their book, they must remember to place their reading book and reading record into the basket when they come into school in the morning. Please ensure that you are listening to your child read at least three times per week and that you are asking them questions about what they have read to help with their comprehension skills. Each time you listen to your child read, please sign their reading record. Books cannot be changed unless the reading record is signed by a parent / guardian.

PE

Our PE day in 3R is now Thursday afternoon. Please ensure that your child has the correct PE kit in school including suitable footwear so that they can participate in the lessons safely. If you child has their ears pierced, please ensure that they do not come to school with earrings in on the day that they have PE.

Outdoor Education

Your child will have outdoor education and an additional PE lesson every two weeks on a Friday morning. Please ensure that your child comes to school suitably dressed in clothes that can get muddy / dirty and are suitable for the weather conditions (not school uniform). Even in wet / cold weather, the children will still be doing activities outside so will need warm, waterproof clothing as and when required. Children can bring wellies into school when they have outdoor education. Please also make that they bring another pair of shoes with them i.e. trainers that they can change into after their outdoor education lesson.
