Class teacher – Mrs Rickwood

Hello! I am so happy to be your teacher in Year 3. I would like to share a little bit about myself with you. I am married and have two children, a boy and a girl, called Will and Charlie (Charlotte). We also have a hamster called 'Cookie' who is not very sociable as he is still very young.

In my spare time I enjoy watching cricket, especially my son, who plays for a local team. I am also a qualified Level 1 cricket coach! I spend a lot of my time in the summer coaching, playing, scoring and watching cricket! I also enjoy musical theatre, and enjoy my time spent watching shows, both locally and in the West End of London. I also spend a lot of time watching my daughter perform in her school shows as well as her theatre school.

PE days:

Tuesday & Friday – on these days, children should wear their PE kit to school.

Curriculum overview:

Please see below the curriculum overview for this half-term. Please discuss with your child at home the learning they are completing in class.

In addition to the weekly homework, children are also expected to read daily for at least 10 minutes, practise their weekly spellings, maths facts, and times tables. 

Homework 16/10/26:

We have been really enjoying our English writing and being creative with words. I would like you to write a 500-word story, using the booklet I have given you to write a 500-word story. Your story can be about anything you want but mustn't be longer than 500 words. We will then look to submit the stories to Radio 2 for their 500-word story writing competition. Due to the deadline for entries being the 6th November, please could I ask that these come into school by Tuesday 3rd November at the latest. If you would not like your entry submitted, then please let me know. Thank you for your support.
