iPads and Online Learning 

Now that the children are taking home their 1:1 iPads, it is vital that they bring their iPad to school with them each day ready to use, with 100% battery and their charger in their bag. In addition, all children have a login to several websites which are used for completing school work and homework. To keep children safe online, they have been taught to keep their usernames and passwords safe from others. The websites used in Year 3 are below and can be accessed by clicking on the logos.

Swimming

In Year 3, all children will attend swimming lessons at Oldham Lesiure Centre in line with the National Curriculum.

Coral class have now begun their swimming lessons and will attend these until February half term.  Please ensure your child comes to school with their full swimming kit.

Garnet class will begin their swimming lessons in February and will attend these every Thursday until the end of the academic year in July. Please ensure your child comes to school with their full swimming kit when it is required and it taken home each week to be washed.

Thank you.
