Hello to Y3 children, parents and carers,
welcome to our final week of this half term. We have all had a very busy half term, including the children, parents, grandparents and carers. Have a look through our timetable for this week and the new layout of the Home Learning page. This change has now been implemented across school.. You will probably agree that the new layout is so much easier to follow. Each lesson is now listed under the day they are taking place. There is a special end of term treat for everyone on Friday. Apart from the TT Rockstar and spelling test, we will be learning about the Chinese New Year. We have planned a few craft / art activities for you, and we are already looking forward to seeing the photos of your creations.
Whilst the worksheets for most activities have been included, we would like to re-iterate that there is no need to print any of these off. Answers written in the Home Learning books will suffice.
Miss Bullock will be back on Teams and remote learning this week. All enquiries and two work submissions should be send to kbullock@ashgreenprimary.co.uk
Thank you for your support, hard work and commitment during these past 6 week. We could not have done this journey without your support and fully appreciate the sacrifices you as parents, grandparents and carers had to make during this period. All that remains to be said is, enjoy your half term when it finally arrives.
Once again, huge thanks to you all and best wishes from,
Miss Bullock, Miss Zimmer and the wider Year 3 team.
