Welcome to 3JE

Well done 3JE, we've already completed half third of our year together. The time is flying by but we've still got lots of learning to do.

This term we are going to be exploring trees and plants in science, British Inventors in Design & Technology, and we will be learning all about Italy and earthquakes and volcanoes in our geography lessons. Finally, we are going to be learning about the Romans in History.

Kind Regards

Mr Edwards and Mr Beacham

Classroom Routines

1) Waterbottles - bring your water bottles with you each day. These should contain water only and if you run out you can fill up in the classroom. If you can, try to use a reusable bottle.

2) Uniform - Last term, we noticed that some pupils are forgetting to wear the correct uniform. We believe that uniform is important and expect pupils to arrive in the correct clothing.

BOYS UNIFORM

• Black, navy or grey school trousers or shorts
• Plain white or blue shirt, white or blue polo shirt or school polo shirt
• Plain navy blue jumper, sweatshirt, cardigan or fleece
• Black footwear.

GIRLS UNIFORM

• Black, navy or grey school trousers, shorts or skirt
• In warmer months, girls may wear a blue check summer dress
• In colder months, girls may wear black, navy or grey tights
• Plain white or blue shirt, white or blue polo shirt or school polo shirt
• Plain navy blue jumper, sweatshirt, cardigan or fleece
• Black footwear.

3) PE - our PE lessons will be on Wednesday afternoons this term. Please come to school in your PE kit including trainers, navy or black shorts or joggers, a plain white t-shirt and a plain navy jumper. 

4) No football shirts - even if you have a sports club after school, football shirts are not allowed.

5) Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due the following Thursday. Teachers will provide help during Wednesday lunchtimes to any children struggling to complete homework at home. 

6) Golden Time will take place every Friday afternoon to celebrate the children's hard work and good behaviour - the children can bring one toy and we will sometimes have special activities or treats.

7) Allergies - there are several children with severe nut allergies in the classroom so please avoid sending products with nuts into school.

8) Reading - We expect children to read at least 3 days in a week (out of 7 days) and to bring their planners every day for review and we will give out champion points to regular readers!

9) Read Write Inc - to provide children with additional reading and writing support, some pupils will be receiving additional reading booklets. These correspond to the reading and writing activities we will complete in class. Practising at home will give your child a greater chance to thrive.

10) Logins - each child will be given a login to Reading Eggs, TT Rockstars and Purple Mash. These are all apps that you can access through most computers and laptops. If you are missing or have misplaced a login, please let a school adult know.

11) Worries - If you or your child have any concerns, please communicate through their school planner or speak to one of the school adults at the end of the school day. We also have a feelings box at the front of the class for the children to put their worries, in case they feel uncomfortable speaking to a school adult.
