Welcome to Year 3

Typical Year 3 Timetable

Key Information

• Children are to come to school on Tuesday in PE kit. 
• Library day is Wednesday.

Communicating with your child's class teacher: 

Our direct year group email is year3@st-matthews.leeds.sch.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mr Parker or Miss Claxton-Ruddock). 

Names in clothing:

Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off). 

Please find below the slides from the Year 3 parents' information meeting. 

Homework

We are learning the spellings every day in school and there is no requirement to learn them at home.  However, they are here in case you want to look at them. 

The children will be tested on Friday.

Current Learning - Autumn Term 1 - Sikhism

Sikhism developed in the Punjab region from the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak. We will be learning all about the religion of Sikhism. We will look at where this religion started, Holy places, the Holy Book and what traditions Sikh people follow. We will even try to fit in a trip to the Sikh Temple.
