Costume for the KS2 show.
Year 3: Angels/ stars – children will need a white or sparkly top and dark trousers - if any of the children have angel costumes please see Mrs Boyle or Mr Langan as soon as possible. Well done 3B we have all of your costumes in class now! Whole class dojo!
Stone Age Day
In January we will be learning about the Stone Age and having a dressing up day. The costume can then be worn for the Year 3 assembly on Friday 24th January. The children will be taking part in activities to immerse them in Stone Age life. There will be no cost for the day. Please come to hear all about their learning. The assembly will take place on Friday 24th January.
Toast
A reminder that the children do not get free fruit in KS2 but they can bring their own fruit for break time. Many children ask us for 'spare' toast at break time. Unfortunately we don't have spare toast as the kitchen makes just the right amount for the children on our lists. Please ask your child if they would like to have toast each day and add their name to the list. You can pay online. Please do not send any other snacks.
P.E. is every Thursday afternoon.
P.E. is each Thursday morning. A reminder that PE kit is a white T-shirt; red jumper/ hoodie; red shorts, black leggings or sports pants; and trainers or pumps. Please wear P.E. kit to school on Thursday.

A reminder that children should bring a water bottle into school every day and this should be washed and refilled at home. Please provide a bottle with a sports cap and not a screw top. If your child has packed lunch, they need an extra drink please. They can bring juice for lunch time. No fizzy drinks please.
Please bring a coat every day as the weather changes rapidly in Haslingden. For warmer weather, the children can bring sunglasses and sunhats. They can put sun cream on before school.

Infinity Maths
Your child may also wish to start working on their times tables and use TT rockstars.
Your child will be given a Home learning book on Friday. We will be sending a weekly reading comprehension and a Maths sheet home to be completed for the following Friday. This will be linked to the learning for the week and your child should be able to show you what they have been learning. The final week of each half term will be an opportunity to complete work in a different subject.
Hear your child read every day and sign their Home/School diary for a Dojo point.
They must aim to change their book at least once a week.
We have added some book review sheets in the file share section below - if they have really enjoyed a book they can complete a book review to recommend it to their friends. These can be brought in to school to share with the class.
Help your child to learn their spellings. These will be in their Home/ school diary each week. They will also have a non-negotiable list of spellings on this Vschool page.
Thank you in advance for your support. Together we will work to enable your child to be the best learner they can be.
Online games/apps
