Year 3
Weekly Update - Friday 12th December 2025
Summary of this week:
Dear parents and carers,
Core subjects
Our core subjects this week have been focused around completing our current units. In English, we have finished our innovations of Mimi and The Mountain Dragon and in Maths we have been consolidating our unit on multiplication and division.
Foundation
In Art this week, we have started to use the scaling skills we have been learning to enlarge images to focus on key details of abstract art. In Geography, we have planned and completed our own in-school expeditions after learning about direction and compass points. In our PSHE topic, we have continued to learn about bullying and focus on how words can be hurtful.
Our learning next week:
As you will be aware, there are lots of fun Christmas activities next week! Please see the notice and reminders section.
Homework
Maths homework is handed out every Tuesday. The hand in date is the Friday of each week
A spelling overview is sent out at the beginning of half term to support the children with learning spellings at home.
Please could yellow reading record books remain in school bags and please log any reading you do with your child at home.
Notices & Reminders:
As you will be aware, there are lots of fun Christmas activities next week! Some key reminders:
- Please could project homework be brought in by Monday as Monday morning we will be showcasing them across the year group.
- Christmas fair, Santas grotto etc… will be taking place on Tuesday throughout the day.
- On Friday, as it is the last day of term we will be off our usual timetable and doing Christmas activities. We have invited the children (if they would like) to bring in a board game / card game from home they enjoy that they can play with their friends as one of our activities. Please could we ask that they do not bring in anything electronic.
On Friday afternoon, we will be having a movie afternoon / class party. If the children would like too, they are more than welcome to bring in an extra snack they would like to have in the afternoon (nothing with nuts etc…).
Thank you for all your support this term and have a lovely Christmas when it arrives!
Thank you and have a nice weekend!
