Welcome

Welcome to 3J
 
Year 3 is an exciting year with lots of great learning opportunities and challenges. 
School life during COVID19
 
Timings
To try and ensure social distancing we have staggered start times and end times at the moment.
Please drop your child off at school between 8:40 and 8:50am. The entrance door to year 3 and 4 will close by 9am and your child will have to enter school through the office. Please pick up your child at 3:10pm.
Please try and stick to these times so we can minimise the risk of COVID19 spreading across bubbles. 
 
Hygiene
Throughout the day there are opportunities for hand washing and hand sanitising. Children are required to sanitise each time they enter and leave the classroom and before eating. 

 Here is some useful information: 

Home Reading

Each child has a home reading book and record. We have assessed and chosen the level of this book for your child in order to ensure this meets their reading needs. We encourage children to read at home each night.
When your child has read at home, please use their reading record to write a comment, date and sign so that your child can add a sticker on their reading chart. When 35 stickers have been collected, your child will receive a certificate in assembly. 

Please use the document below to help you ask your children questions as they read.
 
 

Homework

 

Homework will be set on a weekly basis every Friday.
Your child will be given a group of spellings and KIRFS to learn.
These will be tested on the following Friday.
You can find the weekly homework on our class page:
Classes 2020-21  - 3J   - Homework.
Each Friday, I will send you a message via Marvelous Me.
 
Please ensure you are signed up to the app. You can speak to the office to obtain your login details.
 

KIRFs

KIRFS are Key Instant Recall Facts which are designed to support the development of mental maths skills. Every week we will test KIRFS in class. Once all the KIRFS have been mastered three times, they will be able to move on to the next stage.
 
 

 School uniform

 

Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

 

As of September 2020 we have a new school uniform for children in key stage two. If your child’s uniform from last year still has wear left, we will allow a period of transition until January 2021. 

  • Blakehill school tie
  • White shirt
  • Charcoal grey trousers / skirt / dress
  • Charcoal grey shorts / blue and white checked dress (Summer)
  • V-neck navy blue jumper with Blakehill school logo
  • Black shoes (no trainers or high heels)
  • Black/white socks or tights
  • Trainers can be worn for PE and at break times. Shoes or pumps should be worn in school at all times. 

PE

PE is taught twice a week. On a Wednesday morning, we have indoor PE and on a Tuesday afternoon we have outdoor PE lessons. Please be aware that where possible, outdoor PE lessons will take place and so your child will need to have a jumper and a warm, waterproof coat for this outdoor session.  

Your child will need: 

Indoor Kit: Children will need black or navy shorts, a white T-shirt and black pumps. 

Outdoor Kit: Long black or blue jogging bottoms, a white PE T-shirt and a warm black or blue jumper to keep them warm in the winter months. Children will also need suitable trainers too.

Their PE kit should be in school at all times.
