Year 3

Welcome to the Year 3 page!

The children have made a great start to their journey through KS2!

It has been a busy term and the children have adapted to new routines, topics and pace of learning. We have all enjoyed getting to know them and are looking forward to sharing what we have planned for the rest of the year.

As we go forward, please keep an eye on the class Dojo for up to date information and messages and, as always, if your child has any particular concerns, please contact their class teacher via this. We will also be available at the school gate at hometime for a quick chat, or feel free to make an appointment for a longer converstaion via Dojo or the school office.

Best wishes,

The Year 3 team.

Useful information

PE will be on Friday afternoons. Please ensure your child has both indoor and outdoor kit. This will come home on Fridays for washing.

Wednesday afternoons will be taught by Mrs Gaskin (3A) and Mrs Sanderson (3B) as it is the teachers' planning and assessment time. The lessons taught during this time will change from term to term.

Homework

Children should read with an adult at least 3 times a week for at least 15 minutes. This should include discussion of the text and prediction activities and should be recorded in their reading diaries. Reading books will be changed as necessary.

To practice and consolidate their maths skills and number knowledge, the children are expected to use the online platforms of Numbots and Times Tables Rockstars at least 3 times a week for 15 minutes a total of 45 minutes a week.
