Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days. **Coats** ***-*** Please can you send your child in with a coat everyday as we will be doing learning in and out of the classroom in both rain and shine! It would be a real help if coats and jumpers/cardigans were clearly named so they don't get lost. **Water bottles** - Please ensure that your child's bottle is in school every day so that they can access a drink during the day. **Reading** – Now that your child is in KS2, it is still important that they are reading regularly so that they are able to build their fluency and comprehension. Reading with your child allows you to ask questions about what they're reading and support their comprehension skills. **Bookbags** - Please bring in books/book bags every day. These will be kept in your child's drawer or on their peg. **Please avoid sending your child in with very large back packs** as we struggle to fit them all in the cloakroom. **Showbie** - Your child will be given a Showbie login, we will be using Showbie in class to support our learning and may set home enrichment tasks on there too. We will also post a weekly newsletter on a Friday with some detail about what we have learnt during the week and any reminders about upcoming events. ### Year 3 Documents\_new Year 3 Timetable 15 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shavington-primary-school/files/documents/Year_3_Timetable.docx) ## Autumn Guided Reading Texts ### **Autumn 1** ![](https://shavingtonprimary.co.uk/images/2c34c439d0d5b419c3994b6f88c0f089.png) ![](https://shavingtonprimary.co.uk/images/99a5079d3ea234c6a05ea718264624c3.png) ### **Autumn 2** ![](https://shavingtonprimary.co.uk/images/2c121326e6c9826a501948ff94efe6aa.png) ![](https://shavingtonprimary.co.uk/images/a9a379a6b784e6c26cd4ab8ef2a08bd8.png) ## Autumn Writing Texts ### **Autumn 1** ![](https://shavingtonprimary.co.uk/images/12c126b50c8f4f8d6b20cb6fc40f2c01.png) Coming to England is the inspiring true childhood memoir by Baroness Floella Benjamin.
