Teacher: Shahida Babikir
LSA: Nasima Choudhury

Dear Parents welcome to 3A.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

Inshallah, we pray that this is a beneficial year for all of us. There have been some changes to year 3A since the start of the school year. PE will now be on Thursday and homework will be given on Friday and collected on Wednesday. This will ensure time for marking and feedback. Please parents, could you ensure that homework books are taken care of and returned as requested. Inshallah we need to work as a team and create a partnership to enhance the children’s learning. It would be great to have more parental involvement in the class. If you have a skill that could enrich the learning of the children please come and see me. Feel free to communicate regularly with me about any matters arising, curriculum or general. Inshallah we have an exciting term ahead with lots of learning and creativity. Below you will find a breakdown of topics that will be covered this term.
Let’s get the ball rolling... Smiley reading
