Login Sheets 

All children have come  home with their computer login sheet today (15.09.21). Please check your child's bag and keep this in a safe place. 

Water Bottles 

Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school with them each day so that they can hydrate regularly throughout the day. 

Reading Records and Books

• Please ensure that all books are recorded in the reading record along with the dates that reading has taken place. We encourage daily reading. 
• Please sign/initial these entries.
• Comments about the book and your child's reading are welcomed with at least 3 comments a week. 
• All reading records are checked on Mondays so please send into school even if a new book is not needed.
• Reading books can be changed as needed - on any day of the week.
• Children may record their own books in the reading record so we can see what else they are reading. 

Ukulele

All children will learn to play the ukulele in Year 3. Lessons with a teacher from Hounslow Music Service will begin on Wednesday 22nd September. Please see the Parentmail sent on 6/9/21 for details if you wish to purchase a ukulele and ensure your child brings it to school on the 22nd.

Autumn Topic 

Our topic this term is Active Planet where we will be learning about volcanoes, earthquakes and sources of energy. 

Further information about the learning in geography is available on our new Knowledge Organisers. This can be found in Google Classroom.

The below list is part of an initiative called Word Aware that we are using in school. We thought it would be helpful to share this list with you so that you can use some of these words at home when discussing the topic. If your child speaks a different language at home, it would be helpful to discuss and translate these words using your home language. We may add to this list during the topic as new words are introduced.

Here is a link to the new handwriting guidelines to enable you to support your children practising letter formation at home.
