Hello, I'm Mrs Penney and I'm really excited to be teaching in Year 3 again this year. This is my fifth year of teaching and I am Music and History lead. I am very interested in history and also love singing and playing the piano.
We have some really exciting topics to look forward to for this academic year:
Autumn 1 - BOOM!
Autumn 2 - Through the Ages
Spring 1 - Who Built the Pyramids?
Spring 2 - The 4 Kingdoms
Summer 1 - The 4 Kingdoms
Summer 2 - Snecking through the Fens
For Autumn Term 1, PE (gymnastics) will be on a Tuesday afternoon and swimming will be on a Thursday afternoon. Please send your child with a named kit for both PE and swimming.
HOMEWORK
I am really keen on the main work children do being reading, spelling and practicing their number skills. We have three school websites to support this, and I hope you are able to support your child in accessing these once a week. The links are as follows:

Thank you for your ongoing support.

As well as learning your weekly spellings, try to learn to read and write all of these words in the lists I have attached. I would be really pleased if you could then add these into your writing.
