Hi everyone,

Just a few things you might want to know about Year 3!

Reading books: Children are welcome to change their books as soon as they need to, so please encourage them to let us know when they need a new one, although we will be asking them in school too. Please keep children's books and reading records in their bags every day so we can make notes in their records when we read with them.

Snacks: Children are welcome to bring in healthy snacks for break times each day.

PE: PE will take place on Mondays and Thursdays this term. Please provide warm clothing for when the weather is cold. Please have PE kits in school every day as it is always helpful to have a change of clothes and we also do the ‘daily mile’ (walk/jog/run) most days too! Extra socks would be amazing as they can often get wet on the field.

Homework: Set on Fridays. Due in by Wednesday please (unless otherwise stated).

Reading at home - Please try to read with your child as often as possible (3 times a week if you can, but we know that this is not always possible) just for 5/10 mins and make a note in their reading diaries. Thank you!
Spellings - each week the children will receive a list of spellings that have been taught that week during Active Spellings sessions, along with a suggested activity to complete.
Maths - children will be set a short maths task each week which will be in their homework folders. We also highly recommend regular practise on Times Tables Rockstars for improving recall of times tables.

Class Dojo - We often put updates and important messages on Class Dojo and are aiming to use this as our main form of communication each week. We will upload photos of the children's learning so that you can see what we have been up to in class. It's also another way you can message us too.
