Year Three
Welcome to Year 3!
We hope that you all had a lovely summer and made the most of the glorious weather.
Each week there will be daily English and Maths lessons. English lessons include; reading, spellings, comprehension, handwriting and PaG (punctuation and grammar) which will be taught separately. Maths will involve the children working on a range of mathematical skills. The learning of times tables is an important part of this development – using the school-purchased app TT Rockstars along with any other support you can offer at home would be greatly appreciated.

Maths and English Targets
The Year 3 children have Maths and English targets which they are working on. These were on their latest reports that were sent home. Please ask your child their current targets as they should know them.
Homework
This will be set on a Friday to be returned by the following Wednesday at the latest, please. Spellings will be included on the homework each week, to be tested on the following Friday.
TTRockstars, Prodigy, Spag.com and Spelling Shed are all available for the children to use at home - they have their usernames and passwords on their bookmarks.
Reading Books
Children can independently change their reading books as and when needed. We encourage children to be reading at home at least 3 times a week (this can be independently or with an adult). Reading records must be signed and dated by an adult after each reading session. Reading records will be checked on a Monday and Thursday.
Reading Area
We have a dedicated reading area in class. The reading area has a wide selection of magazines, fiction, and non-fiction books.
Before/After School
At the beginning of the school day, before registration (8.45 – 8.55), the children will have different maths, reading and writing activities to complete throughout the year.
At the end of each school day (3.15 pm) the children will be dismissed from the playground (to the right of the MUGA).
General Reminders
Our timetabled PE slot will be Wednesday for this half term - PE kit should include a white T-shirt, black/blue shorts/sports trousers and suitable trainers. Please remove jewellery, including earrings before coming to school.
The children must also bring in their own water bottle from home.
