ZOOM MEETING

Our Year 3 Meet the Teacher meeting will take place on Monday 22^nd September at 6pm. If you have not received the Zoom details via email, please contact admin@chesterbluecoatce.cheshire.sch.uk

This is an opportunity for the teachers to introduce themselves and to share with you the procedures and plans for Year 3.

Miss Stephenson and Mrs Howard-Jones are looking forward to seeing you.

PE Days:

Class 3HJ – Wednesday

Class 3S – Friday

On PE days the children need to come into school wearing their PE kit. School uniform should be worn on every other day.

A reminder that we start at 8:45am and finish at 3:10pm. Children can bring money to buy snacks at playtime or bring their own healthy choice.

Please don't bring anything to school other than a lunch box (if required), coat and water bottle. A water bottle is really important at the moment as water fountains cannot be shared.

We are aware that not every child has a reading book due to Covid restrictions and having to quarantine books, but please bear with us. We are in the process of purchasing an online reading scheme (Bug Club). Details will be sent home soon.

The children have settled really well this term and have already begun their learning journeys.

Children will be learning their multiplication tables regularly in class and have their own Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) login details, which can be used at home too.

Some useful websites to help with learning times tables are:
