However, if you do need to get an urgent message to me at the beginning of the day then please do this via the staff member who will be on the main door.

General Reminders:

Our P.E times are Thursdays for swimming and Fridays for P.E. Please remember to wear the appropriate uniform.

Homework is set on Thursday and should be returned by the following Thursday. If there are any problems please don't hesitate to send me an email.

Children should have in school a small water bottle with a non-spill spout.

Children are allowed to bring a healthy snack for morning break eg. Fruit/dried fruits/vegetable sticks etc

Times Tables
In Year 3 we start learning our times tables. Towards the end of Year 4 all pupils will take the national multiplication tables screening check. It is essential that children practice recalling times tables facts often. We encourage you to access ttrockstars.com as it will assess and monitor your child's progress and set appropriate targets- little and often (it is recommended that 5-7 minutes per day is best). You can also  find fun games on websites such as Top Marks and timestables.co.uk to help your child learn them in an interactive way. Please encourage your child to maintain their times tables at home.


Spellings
We use Emile spelling in Year 3. This ensures that pupils learn spellings in school - little and often. If you wish to practise spellings at home please ensure that your child can spell correctly all the Year 3 and 4 words in the file below.

Reading in Year 3

Each child will be given a book and a reading diary to bring home every night. They will need to bring their reading diary and book to school every day. Please make an effort to listen to your child read (15 minutes each day is fantastic) and comment or at least sign their reading record. Reading is an essential part of learning and it is wonderful when we can support the children both at school and home. Each week, the children will be asked to complete a reading activity related to the book that they are reading.

Knowledge Organisers
