Welcome to 3M with Mr Morris!
Welcome to Class 3M's webpage for 2021-2022!
Some things you need to know about our class:
- The Year 3 classroom doors open at 8:50am and school starts at 9.00am. Please be on time!
- School finishes at 3.15pm. Please pick up your child from the classroom door.
- PE is on Thursdays when children need to come to school in their PE kit, sweatshirt and school shoes. Remember to bring pumps in a bag to change into. Leggings and tracksuit bottoms can be worn instead of shorts.
- Homework (Maths and Spellings) are sent home on Friday to be returned by the following Friday.
- Spelling tests are on Fridays.
- Children are expected to read at home every day, and reading books are changed regularly.
A few requests:
- Please ensure that your child goes to the toilet before leaving home. Going to the toilet during lessons disrupts learning.
- Please arrive on time - learning starts with Maths catch-up practice at 8.50am. Regularly arriving late harms your child's learning.
- Please label all clothing - it's very difficult to locate your child's jumper when we have 30 in lost property with no names on!
Thank you!
I'm usually on the door for a quick word, or you can get in touch via the school office if you have any questions or concerns.
