Spring Term

It has been great seeing some of you at our doors on the playground, as your parents have picked up the learning packs on Monday afternoons. We have been delighted to hear from you in our Year 3 email, we have been so happy to see photographs of you working from home and we are amazed at your work and how perfect it looks!

We are delighted that you are enjoying the learning in the packs, and from the work we have had back, we can see the great effort you are putting into your learning. We have spent a lot of time putting these packs together, to ensure that you keep working hard at home and we can see that you value your education!

Well done also to using the online learning, we hope that you are enjoying that too! Keep sending your emails to us through purple mash - it's great we have so many ways of keeping connected!

Stay safe at home with your families and remember us in your prayers as we remember you and your families! 

Recent update for us! 

You can improve your reading experiences while at home.

You can now connect with AR while at home, I'm sure you are all very excited about this! We are sending a letter home this week, in your learning packs that explains the details about how you can log into this: https://www.getepic.com/sign-in/educator

The year 3 teachers can now be contacted by email at year3@englishmartyrs.bham.sch.uk

for any questions you may have about your child's home learning or if you want to send us photos of work.

COULD WE PLEASE ASK THAT WHEN YOU SEND AN EMAIL TO US COULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE NAME OF YOUR CHILD AND THE YEAR GROUP (A or B) OR PUT YOUR CLASS TEACHER'S NAME. This would help us enormously! Thank you

Collect and Return

Home learning packs are to be collected and returned every Monday between 12 and 3 p.m. at your child's class door. 

Please also bring your child's reading book and we will also change this.

Key Information

Spring 1 Learning from home (06.01.21)

Homework packs:

• Whilst school is closed to the majority of pupils it is an expectation that pupils continue their learning, albeit from home. 
• Each week teachers will produce a learning pack for parents to collect. 
• Parents must collect the packs along with a reading book each and every Monday between 12 noon and 3pm. 
• The home learning packs contain guidance on how to support your child in each lesson and also contains the answers to the work. 
• The home learning packs MUST be completed to a high standard, as pupils would in school and MUST be returned the following Monday with their reading book.

Additional resources:

• Please check the year 3 web page regularly for important updates and resources to support your child's learning. 
• Children are still expected to complete activities on Purple Mash, Spag.com, Maths.co.uk and Times Tables Rock Stars.

Communication:

• Teachers will resume making phone calls to families from 9am throughout the week.
• Please make sure that your child is awake and ready to learn by 9am as it is very important to maintain a routine similar to the one in school therefore, we suggest that children follow the timetable on this page to ensure that children's learning is not negatively impacted upon due to the school closure. 
• Please feel free to email us at: year3@englishmartyrs.bham.sch.uk if you have any questions associated with your child's work - we would like to support you where we can.
• You can also email us any photos of your child's work. We would love to see how the children are getting on with their learning at home. 

We look forward to hearing from you and can't wait to see your smiling faces again very soon.

Stay safe everyone,

God Bless,

Mr Hamilton and Miss Carroll
