Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to a fun packed year in Class 3 at St Anne’s Fulshaw.
We will be busy learning lots of new things and having fun this term. Here are some of the things we shall be doing and what support you can give at home;
Literacy
During the first half term we will be exploring the book ‘The King who Banned the Dark' by Emily Haworth-Booth. We are going to write a mistake narrative and information about being a regal leader. Next half term we shall be looking at ‘The Rhythm of the Rain’ by Graham Baker-Smith and writing a setting narrative and information about rivers.
Reading
Please encourage your child to read for 15 minutes a night. Your child has a Reading Diary to record page numbers etc. and this can be signed by a parent /carer or a child on a daily basis and must be handed in to be checked. If you do not have time to read due to clubs etc please write this in the reading diary.

Be persistent.
Try new things, take risks and make mistakes.
Always be ready to learn, honest and helpful.
