Year 3 - Deer

Welcome

Learning

Welcome to Year 3! The first year of the Key Stage 2 journey which is full of exciting topics and will provide a sound start for all their future learning in this Key Stage.

P.E. - Our P.E. days are Wednesdays and Fridays. On Wednesdays, the children need to bring in their PE kit to change into during the afternoon. On Fridays, the children can wear their PE kit to school all day.

Equipment - All resources are supplied for the children. However if they wish to bring in colouring felt tip pens, they can do so within a pencil case which is stored in their lockers and brought out for occasional use. We kindly ask that children do not bring in toys, stickers and similar items into school.

Water bottles - Children can bring in their water bottles and place them on the classroom sink, where they can access them throughout the day. Please can these be of a suitable size, sealable and not too bulky so they all fit in the space.

Home Learning

Homework will be set on a Wednesday and due in the following Monday. It can help to find a regular time, that suits your family schedule, to do the homework in a quiet setting when your child is not too tired. Homework will consist of:

Maths - Times Tables Rockstars online practice and a My Maths online task.
Spelling/Grammar - This will be a task set on Spag.com. Spellings will be sent home on a Wednesday and tested the following Monday. There are a variety of ways the children can learn their spellings - we have discussed these in class.
Reading - We encourage you to hear your child read as often as possible...daily if possible. Regular practice at this age really consolidates all the phonics learnt up to now and this provides sound progress going forwards. Children reading at least three times a week, with proof in their reading diaries, will be rewarded in class.

Educational Visits

The educational visits for this year are under review and will be written on here once confirmed.

Thank you for your support in your child's learning for the year ahead.
