On the days they have PE in the morning, they need to come to school in PE kit please.
Spellings and homework are now on Doddle and will be set every Friday. All children in Year 3 have been given their login.

Personal Growth

At Glenmere, we like to ensure our pupils to be prepared to engage as individuals, parents, workers and citizens with economic, social and cultural change, including the continued globalisation of the economy and society, are able to adapt to new work and leisure patterns and keep up with the rapid expansion of communication technologies.

At Glenmere we endeavour to ensure our children leave us with a firm understanding of the British Values and Protected Characteristics and their importance. Therefore, we have created our own Personal Development curriculum to reflect the children of Glenmere and our whole school approach to promoting the values they set. We also have our own values to compliment our overarching values of, GLENMERE is 'GREAT' (Grow, Respect, Enjoy, Achieve, Together) chosen carefully by the staff, and which reflect our commitment to supporting the children to become well-adjusted and well-rounded citizens.

See below the overview, planning and knowledge organisers for Year 3 Personal Development curriculum.
