Snowy Owls Y3
Welcome to Snowy Owls!
'In a world where you can be anything, be kind'
Welcome to 2025 and Term 3!
I hope you have all had a relaxing Christmas holiday.
Thank you so much for all the lovely cards and gifts.
I can't wait to hear all about your holiday when I see you on Tuesday.
Below is the main information you need to know for the third term.
Topic:
This term we have another history topic: The Romans and their invasion of Britain.
Homework:
Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
On top of the homework given out on a Friday, it would be great if you could read with your child at least three times per week and sign their reading diaries (they will earn 1 dojo point for every three times they read and have their diaries signed at home.)
Some weeks I will set Times Table Rock Stars as homework. Please let me know if you need your child’s login.
Additional homework will be available on the homework grid. We will display any homework sent in from the homework grid in the classroom.
Spellings:
Spelling tests will be on a Wednesday morning.
PE:
PE this term will be on a Tuesday (gymnastics) and a Thursday (hall games).
Please send your child to school dressed in their PE kit. PE Kits should consist of the following: navy, black or grey bottoms (shorts/ joggers/ PE skirt), white T-Shirt and navy, black or grey warm hoodie/ top if required. They need to come to school in their school shoes and have their trainers to change into for PE. This is so that they have clean shoes in the classroom.
Whole Class Reading:
For our whole class reading we will be using the book ‘The Fireworkmaker's Daughter' by Philip Pullman.
I have enough copies in school for one between two, but if your child would like their own copy, please feel free to buy one.
As it is usually cold, wet and muddy at this time of year, please can you make sure your child has outdoor shoes or wellies to change into for break and lunch, as well as a warm coat every day.
Our cloakroom is very small in Snowy Owls, so please can I ask that the children only bring the essentials to school (book bag, water bottle (water only please) and packed lunch). No big backpacks please.
As the children are now in KS2 they no longer receive a snack at school, so please send them with a healthy snack (fruit or vegetables are ideal) for break time.
Please catch me at the end of the day or contact me via the office (office@greatmiltonschool.co.uk) if you have any questions or there is anything that you need us to know.
