“Be the best that you can be”
Dear Parents/Carers,
Year 3 Newsletter Spring 2
During the next half term we will be answering the question; ‘What Was Life Like For The Croods?’ The topic will use
the characters from the popular children’s animated movie ‘The Croods’ as inspiration. It will include weekly questions,
which we will answer with the week’s learning. An overview of our questions, along with our English and Maths
coverage has been provided to let you know what we will be up to in class.

Homework is still due to be handed in every Wednesday for marking and will be returned every Friday. Pupils should
continue to read regularly at home and keep a record in their diary. We would be grateful if you could support your
child by ensuring that all homework is completed and handed in on time and also by listening to them read, discussing
the book and recording your comments about their reading in their diary. Please send diaries and reading books into
school daily.
Pupils will need both an indoor and outdoor kit available in school for PE, due to the changeable nature of the weather.
An indoor kit consists of an appropriately coloured team t-shirt and navy or black shorts and pumps and an outdoor
kit includes trainers, dark coloured tracksuit bottoms and a sweater. It is important that all children have the
correct kit in school and that it is labelled with their name. Everyone is expected to take part and a note from a
parent is required if anyone is unable to take part in PE sessions, due to medical grounds.
As ever, we appreciate your support, if there is anything at all that you wish to discuss, please pop in for a chat or
give us a call.
Many Thanks,
Mr Beattie and Mr Rogers
