Timetable

This is the Autumn time table for Year 3.

PE

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure that you have sent your child in with a pair of named trainers that can remain at school for the half term. Children do not need a PE kit until further notice.

Homework

Autumn's Dynamite Dojo challenge sheet is show below. A copy has also been sent home with homework books.Things are a little different this year so if you complete an amazing piece of art, you will have to take a photograph of it and stick it in. Please don't worry if you don't have access to a printer; send your picture to keystage2@riverview.staffs.sch.uk and your class teacher will print it for you. Any work will also have to be photographed with the River View badge in (this is also in homework books). Written work can be completed as normal in your books. We love looking at your homework and remember, homework wins Dojo points!

Reading

Your child has received log in details to access reading books at home. Your log in details will include: a username, password and school code. If your log in details do not work or you are having difficultly accessing things then please speak to your class teacher. We are more than happy to help!

Online Safety

Our 5 SMART rules

Whenever we use computers, iPads, tablets or mobile phones, we will be following our 5 SMART rules…

Safe: We are careful and do not give out personal information about yourself or anyone else when chatting or posting online.

Meeting: We know that meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous, so it’s not a good idea. We only meet someone with your parents’ or carer’s permission and even then, only when they are with us. We always remember that online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time.

Accepting: We understand that accepting emails, IM messages, or opening files, pictures or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems—they may contain viruses or nasty messages!

Reliable: When we chat online, we know it is best to only chat to real world friends and family members. Sometimes, people online might lie about who they are. We always check information found on the internet because it might not be true. We use other websites and books to do this.

Tell: We always tell a parent, carer, trusted adult or phone Childline if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or if you or someone you know is being bullied online. We know that we can always report to CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command) if we are worried about online abuse or the way that someone is chatting online. https://www.ceop.police.uk/ceop-reporting/

Good to be Green

Our 'Richer' values are of great importance and everyone in the school - children and staff- are encouraged to follow them at all times.

R- Respect

I- Independence

C - Caring

H - Helpful

E - Equality

R - Resilience

The children who choose to use their 'Richer' values and receive less than three red cards in one half term are invited to attend a Good to be Green Party. Check back at the end of each half term to view our pictures!
