If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to talk to one of the Year 3 team.

Reading at home

All children are given their own reading record and book to bring home every night. It is the expectation in Year 3 that all children read to an adult every night and their reading record is signed and returned to school the following day. These are checked daily by teachers and rewards are given for children who read 5x a week or more!

Reading opens up so many opportunities for children and has astonishing benefits, including increasing confidence, relaxation, happiness, imagination and of course it is fun!

Homework

Spelling homework will be sent home every Friday and all children will complete a spelling quiz on these words the following Friday. The words that the children bring home for spellings are common exception words all children are expected to know in Year 3 and 4. Being able to spell these words correctly will improve the quality of children's writing too so it is extremely important to practise these words at home. There will also be an additional English or Maths activity on the back of the spelling sheet to be completed and returned to school the following Friday.

There will be a weekly Seesaw task to compliment our work in the wider curriculum, which will again be set on a Friday. Some children will also receive a weekly phonics video to support their learning.

P.E

This half term Year 3 have PE on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Children must bring their full PE kits into school with them on these days. Children must wear black/navy joggers/leggings/shorts and a white polo top. A navy or black jacket can be worn for when PE is outside during the colder months. All PE kit must be plain with NO LOGOS!

Water bottles

All children can bring a water bottle into school and leave this at the sink throughout the day. No juice is allowed - water only.
