Autumn Term 2018
Heads and Tudor Tales!
Values – Hope and Peace
Throughout the Autumn term, children will explore the life, times and adventures
of Tudor explorers. Alongside this, children will be given the opportunity to write
creatively and take inspiration from stories such as The King’s Promise.
Spring Term 2019
I’m A Mayan: Get Me Out Of Here!
Values – Respect and Forgiveness
Throughout the Spring term, children will travel to the rainforests of the world.
We will discover how the rainforest is formed, what creatures live there, the
conditions of these tropical areas and how the rainforest helps us live our lives.
We will learn about the Mayan culture and take the opportunity to taste and
cook with foods from these exotic regions of the world.
Summer Term 2019
Veni! Vidi! Vici!
Values – Community and Faith
Throughout the Summer term, children will investigate the history and geography
of Roman Britain. We plan to inspire the children through exposure to real life
artefacts and exploration of the Roman world around us.
Class 7: 3SL – Class 8: 3EY/RS – David *Further information about our new and exciting approach to reading at school will be released soon!* In Year 3, children will be learning their spellings at school so will no longer be taking spellings home to practice. Children will participate in Spellings Workshops four times each week and will work in groups that provide an appropriate level of challenge for them. Teaching of spellings and spelling patterns will follow a pattern of: Teach; Practice; Apply; Test. If you have any questions about this new approach to spellings, please see a member of the Year 3 teaching team. 2019 Mon 1st Jul – Parent Prayer Group meeting (all welcome) at The Community Centre @ 2:30pm Monday 8th July – Y6 Tewkesbury School Transition Day Monday 8th July – Whole School Mufti-Day: Bring a Bottle for the Summer Fete Tuesday 9th July – Whole School ‘Move Up’ Day Thursday 11th July – Full Governing Body Meeting (2.00pm) Thursday 11th July – Cakes, Sweets & Treats Donations for the Summer Fete Friday 12th July – The Big Bounce Summer Fete Event (3:30pm – 5.00pm) Friday 12th July – NO SCHOOL RUN CLUBS Tuesday 16th July – End of Year Reports sent home Wednesday 17th July – Year 6 Leavers service @ Tewkesbury Abbey (1:30pm) Wednesday 17th July – KS1 Praise Celebration Assembly (9:15am) Wednesday 17th July – Parents Celebration Evening (3:30pm – 5:30pm) Thursday 18th July – Year 3/4/5 Praise Celebration Assembly (9.00am) Friday 19th July – Y6 Leavers School Celebration Assembly (1.00pm) Friday 19th July – End of Term (2.00pm) Week 40 Monday 22nd July – INSET (School CLOSED to children) Tuesday 23rd July – INSET (School CLOSED to children) Class 7 House Captains: Micheal Harry Bellamina Jess Abbey In Year 3, there are lots of websites / apps that we use to support and extend the children’s learning.
