Welcome to 3-M

On Mondays, children may come to school wearing their PE kit.

Remember, 3 Dojos are awarded for each completed homework!

Reading

Please send reading bags into school every day and remind your child to put them in their group box. This helps us to ensure that your child has an appropriate book to support their comprehension and fluency.

We encourage children to read every night to support their learning. Whenever your child reads at home, please record and sign this in their Reading Record. Please feel free to include any other books they read at home too.

Reading Superstars

Children should aim to read on at least 5 out of 7 nights each week.

Children who achieve this will:

• earn 3 Dojos
• receive a Reading Superstar stamp in their Reading Record
• work towards earning a Reading Superstar bookmark each half-term
• be invited to our termly Reading Superstar Film for consistently achieving their weekly reading target

Reading Records are monitored regularly, so please ensure they are brought into school each day.

Accelerated Reader

Each time your child finishes a book, they will be invited to complete an Accelerated Reader Quiz to check their understanding.

Children can also access a wide selection of free e-books from home through Liverpool Libraries. It is free to register:

Your support with reading is greatly valued – thank you!

PE & Swimming

For Autumn Term 1, Year 3 will have PE (swimming) every Monday afternoon.

On Mondays, children may come to school wearing their PE kit. PE kit must be in accordance with our school uniform policy and clearly labelled.

Please ensure your child brings their swimming kit every Monday, including:

• Appropriate swimwear
• Swimming cap – required to enter the pool
• Goggles – recommended for your child’s comfort in the water
• Towel

Please clearly label all PE kit, swimming items and water bottles with your child’s name to help prevent belongings from getting lost.

Other Queries

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak to me at the end of the school day.

Alternatively, you can contact the school office, and I will return your call as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss McAndrew
