Great Portland Street - Year 3
Summer Term Curriculum Overview
PE
On Monday afternoon and Friday morning you will have outdoor PE. Please make sure that you have brought your full kit in Monday: black shorts, black footwear, white t-shirt. Your PE kit will be sent home on Friday for washing.
Outdoor Learning
We will continue with our Outdoor Learning and discover what green spaces can give us.
Even when it's wet, we are thinking about the outdoors.
Due to very wet weather we painted pictures in the style of Abel Rodriguez who lived in the Colombian part of the Amazon rainforest. He listened to stories told to him by his grandfather and then painted pictures of how the rainforest used to be. We tried to paint, from memory, our school playing field. Have a look at the latest newsletter for images of our paintings.
Key Skills
Great Portland Street will have Key Skills on Friday morning. Key Skills consist of three lessons: PE, Outdoor Learning and computing.
Homework
Homework is set every Monday and focuses on times tables, spellings and reading. Don't forget to log onto myON - you can listen as well as read. Remember that when you go onto myON you select the right 'number' so you are reading appropriately challenging books.
Regular practise on TTRS and Spelling Shed will help reinforce the learning we are doing in the classroom. All practise is good - even if it's only for 5 or 10 minutes a day. Remember your aim is to get to below 3 seconds per question.
