Herons
Our team includes: Mrs Green (Monday to Wednesday), Mrs Castleman (Wednesday to Friday), Mrs Farmer (everyday except Thursday), Miss Cooper (Thursdays and Fridays). With both of us having a crossover on Wednesday it will allow us to keep each other updated and consistency within the classroom.
Mrs Farmer is the class MDSA too.
Reading
Please read with your child at least three times a week. Please sign and initial your child’s reading record each time you read with them as it allows your child to go into a raffle for a prize! If you wish to comment as well, that would be most welcome. The children will change their reading books on Friday (unless they haven’t finished it!). We do encourage children to keep their book for at least a week so they have the opportunity to read the book and then understand the book through comprehension questions. The children can visit the school library regularly so that they can borrow other books to enjoy too.
Home Learning
Home learning will be sent home every Wednesday and will need to be returned the following Monday. Each home learning task will be linked to the learning in the classroom. We hope you enjoy supporting your child with home learning, however, please do not hesitate to contact us if you feel your child needs support. Your child is also able to attend the free Home Learning club on a Friday lunchtime.
A list of spellings is also sent home for your child to practise and learn. Spellings will be tested on a Thursday.

Sleep over in Herons’ class
In Year 3, we have the opportunity to experience an evening of fun and games (and hopefully sleep) in our classroom.
This event is always enjoyed by the children and gives them a great opportunity to develop independence and confidence. A letter will be sent out about this once we have confirmed a date!
PE
The children will be having PE learning on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school and that all items are clearly labelled. If you are unable to provide a PE kit for your child, please pop into school for a chat so that we can give support with this.
We are really looking forward to working together to ensure an exciting and successful year for your child. Please do not hesitate to come and see us or phone the school, either before or after school, if you have any questions or queries.
Thank you for your support
Mrs Green and Mrs Castleman
