Reading

Reading at home is very important. Please encourage your child to read aloud each evening and discuss what they have read. When your child reads aloud at home, please add a brief note (in the reading record) detailing the date and the page they have reached.

You can support your child by asking them questions about what they have read, help them to make predictions and explore what a character is thinking and feeling.

Homework

In Year 3, Spellings are set each Friday and should be returned before or on Thursday of the following week.

It is really important that Year 3 pupils work on their multiplication facts (times tables) at home. When working with your child, please remember that each fact must be learnt – it is not enough to recite the tables in order. Help your child by quizzing them regularly in different orders. When learning their multiples of five, you could ask them: 3x5, 4x5, 2x5, 6x5. You can also use Times Tables Rock Stars to support your children's learning.

Please note: Each child has an account on ‘Times Tables Rockstars’ (login details can be found in the front of your child’s reading diary) that they can access at home - there is also a 'Times tables Rockstars' app that you can download to your phone or tablet https://www.ttrockstars.com.

Friday (indoor) and Thursday (outdoor)

Please note: Children should come to school in their PE kits on PE days. They will spend all day in these so they do not need to bring school uniforms.
