For homework this week, we have given your child a food diary. This is to support our Science topic, where we will be exploring different food groups. We would appreciate it if you could help your child to complete their food diary. During our Science lessons, we will sort the information into different food groups.
Kind Regards,
The Year 3 team.
This week the children who borrowed a bike from ‘Coundon Primary Bike Library’ returned them ready for the next group. The children had borrowed them over the summer holiday and were able to use them at local parks, using the new bike lane and some even went further afield. The children were all enthusiastic about using the bikes and will share some of their experiences and memories in an upcoming assembly.
If you do wish to borrow a bike please complete the form using this link https://tinyurl.com/mw2sv8pw
It has been wonderful to see so many children take up our very own, Whole School, Reading Challenge: ‘100 Books to Read Before Leaving Year 6’.
At the end of the Summer Term, the following children received their Bronze Certificate for reading 10 books: Lewis Scott, Sophie Scott, Ben Lusk, Amelia Lusk, Miles Court, Arlo Grant, Finley Grant, Grace Pegley and Elodie Grisdale.
The following children also received their Silver Certificate for reading 25 books: Arlo Grant and Finley Grant.
In addition, a £10 book token was awarded to the children in each key phase who had read the most books by the end of the summer term:
Ria Kaur Dosanjh, Arlo Grant, Grace Pegley, Finley Grant, Amelia Lusk, Billie Farrell, Sophie Scott, and Safeenah Jamil.
Well done all! We can’t wait to see how many books you will have all read by the end of this term! ?

A huge welcome back to all of the children! It has been a delight to see them all back and with such an enthusiastic and positive outlook on their new year of school. The children have settled in brilliantly and have adapted to their new surroundings and routines. We are looking forward to a super first term of learning!
In phonics this week, the children will be working in their new groups, following the assessments that took place in the summer. The children will be continuing their reading, writing and spelling throughout the week and recapping the learning from their previous group. The children will be sent home with their Read Write Inc reading book on Friday and this will need to be returned the following Wednesday. They will also be assigned their home learning material which will need to be completed online.
In maths this week, we will be focusing on sorting in different ways. The children will be given different objects and will be discussing the ways they could be sorted. We will also be discussing that collections of objects can be sorted into sets based on attributes such as colour, size or shape. Sorting enables children to consider what is the same about all
the objects in one set and how they differ from the objects in other sets. We will also be practising our careful counting. The children need to be able to count accurately and carefully to ensure they are not making mistakes that can be avoided.
In the wider curriculum, we are going to be reading ‘What the Ladybird Heard’, in line with our top authors theme. Last week, we started to learn about Julia Donaldson and read ‘Room on the Broom’. We will be learning about rhyming words, onomatopoeia and alliteration. The children will be discussing different words we could use for words like ‘said’ and using adjectives to make their writing more exciting. By the end of the week, the children will be designing their own farm, just like in our story, and labelling the different parts of a farm.
A reminder that P.E days are on Monday and Thursday, so children will need to come into school wearing their P.E kits. The children do not need to bring their wellies into school and should have been given their reception boots back to them, last week.
