Mrs Turner grew up in Hutton with her family, before moving to Chelmsford in 2024. Prior to becoming a teacher, she started a career in Wealth Management but after a few years realised that she wanted to be a teacher. Mrs Turner began her journey into teaching by studying with The Open University whilst working as an LSA in another Essex School. She then completed her teacher training. In her spare time, Mrs Turner enjoys playing netball, spending time with friends and going on holiday.

Year 3’s PE day is Friday. They should come into school wearing their PE kit on a Friday. Children should be wearing a plain white t-shirt with a plain black/navy/dark grey sweat top. Shorts must also be plain navy blue or black and tracksuit trousers must be plain black/navy or dark grey. Appropriate footwear includes trainers/plimsolls. Please note, plain clothes = no logos.

In Year 3, children are set homework every Thursday. This is stuck into their purple homework book. Please ensure your child returns their homework book on the following Wednesday so it can be marked before new homework is set.

Every week, homework will involve completing a spelling quiz on Purple Mash which can be accessed through their 2Dos and logging onto Times Tables Rockstars to complete their heatmap and improve their ranking.

Alongside this, your child should be reading at home, at least 4 times per week. This can be independently or shared with a grown up. They will have a specific English, Maths or Creative task to complete as well that links to our classroom learning.

If your child is in a reading group, they will be sent home with a book on a Thursday which they will have read over the course of 3 sessions in the week. Please share this book with your child and return it to school on a Monday.
