Popokotea Class - Year 3
Welcome to Popokotea Class!
Welcome Popokotea Class! We're now in Term 2! We hope that you all had an amazing first term in Year 3 and are ready for an exciting term ahead! This term will include fun outings for our Geography topic and lots of celebrations leading up to Christmas!
The weather is getting wetter and colder, please ensure your child has a coat and that it is named. Please also check all cardigans and jumpers are still named.
Our PE days are: Monday and Thursday
Please come to school dressed in your PE kit on these days with earrings removed or taped and hair tied back.
Term 2 - Urban Pioneers
How are urban environments different?
This term we will be focusing on Geography, looking closely at our local area.
Hop on the bus and take a trip downtown where the lights are bright, and every street has a story to tell. Explore with fresh eyes the art of the city, then capture a moment in time – perhaps a reflection on a building or a shadow passing by. Make a map of your home town and find out how things have changed. Has time changed town life for the better? How could you improve the urban environment? Maybe add more colour? More light? More things to do, or perhaps a plaza with a comfortable bench or two? Now light up the city with creations of your own – a statue, a light show, a monument or street art. The possibilities are endless. What will you choose? You’re an urban pioneer, so get ready to go.
**HOME LEARNING**
Please ensure that you listen to your child read 5 times a week and that you are supporting them to login into Times Tables Rockstars and Ed Shed daily. We will be monitoring this in class and changing reading books every Friday. If you finish reading your book before, then please re-read it for fluency. We will be sending home 2 reading books: 1 based on their reading level and 1 book of their choice.
If you require further support, please find someone in Popokotea team.
