PE Days
This term our PE Days are Mondays and Wednesdays
However, where opportunities arise, we may occasionally have additional opportunities for PE or physical activities during the week.
To help keep things organised and ensure children always have their kit available when needed, PE kits will be sent home on Fridays and should be returned to school on Monday morning.
Children come to school in their uniform and with their PE kit in a bag.
Information on our PE kit can be found on our Uniform Page.
Home Learning
Children will be learning statutory spelling words. The link can be found below for parents to support at home.

Reading books & Library
We take advantage of every opportunity to listen to the children read in school and love to share their reading progress by celebrating any comments from home in their reading journals, so please bring reading books and journals into school each day. Books can be exchanged at any time.
Our Library day is Monday.
Recommended Reads - Y3
Please find below a recommended book list for children in Year 3.
Age 7 - 8
Helping children in Year 3 to continue to discover books and develop a love of reading is most successfully achieved when a wide range of appealing and age-appropriate books are available to them at home and at school.
