PE
Please note we have PE on a Thursday, so please remember to send your child into school dressed in their full PE kit on this day. Please ensure your child has their coloured PE top, PE hoodie, PE bottoms, hair tied up and jewellery removed on this day so that they are ready and safe to take part.
Thank you for your cooperation.
READING
Children should bring in their books and reading diaries every day and are encouraged to read at home at least three times a week. 'Daily reading at home of just 20 minutes a day has a dramatic impact in all areas of learning.'
The reading book your child brings home will be in line with your child's reading ability. The children are assessed regularly and their book levels are set accordingly. RWinc books are changed twice weekly to fit the program they are following. Accelerated Reader books are changed when the child has finished their book and taken a quiz.
HOMEWORK
For children in Year 3, homework will consist of three areas:
- Spellings
- Times tables
- Reading
They will be given spellings to practice for a spelling test on the following Friday. These spellings are being explicitly taught in class and are linked to the National Curriculum. In addition, the children will bring home a Times Table Travel sheet with a range of times tables to solve. This sheet is linked to the times tables they will be practicing in class. For further practice children can access Times Table Rockstars (TTRS) and build their confidence and fluency. The third area for homework will be reading. Please ensure the children are reading at least three times a week and remember to sign their reading diaries.
Home work will be sent out on Friday, with the expectation that it is brought back in by Wednesday so we can check how they are getting on.
