Moving on to Year 4

Hello Year 3, 

It was great to meet so many of you at our ‘Meet the teacher’ meeting last week. Don’t worry if you couldn’t make it – I’ll look forward to getting to know you in September. 

Last week, Mr Bedford wrote to your parents about returning to school in September. One of the things that he wrote about was the equipment we use in school. Mr Bedford said that for the equipment we use all of the time, like pens and pencils, we should try to keep our own items. He asked that, if possible, we bring our own pencil case to school. 

It would be helpful if your pencil case included these items: 

  • a pencil
  • a pencil sharpener (tub-style to catch sharpenings)
  • a rubber
  • a short (15cm) ruler
  • a glue stick
  • a set of colour pencils (12 colours should be fine)
  • a pair of children’s safety scissors

You will need to keep this pencil case in school and you will be able to leave it in your locker at the end of each day.  

Don’t worry if you are not able to get a pencil case. We will do our best to ensure that our school equipment is not shared. 

Have a lovely summer holiday and I am really looking forward to seeing you all back in school in September. 

Best wishes, 

Mr Hayes
