Welcome to Year 3!

Miss Fowell (Class Teacher)

Mrs Beresford- (Teaching Assistant )

Mrs Mitchell- (Midday Supervisor)

Mrs Shearer- (HLTA Wednesday afternoon )

We hope you have all had a restful summer and are now ready for a new year of adventures. We are so excited to welcome you back into Year 3 and create lots of memories together!

This half-term our topic is Scrumdiddlyumptious, where the children will learn about nutrition and the human body. The children will also be given the opportunity to go on a trip to Cadbury's World later in the term. 

Homework-  Your child will receive a piece of Maths or English homework each week in their CGP booklets (set on a Friday). Details of the weekly homework will be written in your child's reading record. Homework should be returned to school by the following Thursday so that we can mark it. Please support and encourage your child to do their homework as independently as they can. However, if there are any concerns regarding their homework, then please do not hesitate to contact Miss Fowell. 

Times Tables- Each child has an individual login for an app called Times Table Rockstars where they can practice their times tables.  If you lose your login details, please let us know and we can reissue them. By the end of Year 3 the expectation is that your children will know their x2, x3, x4, x5, x8 and x10 tables and the related division facts. These login details will be distributed in September and need to be kept safe. 

Reading- Now that your child is in Key Stage 2, we will not be listening to them read on an individual basis as often. However, please be assured we will be monitoring the progress of their reading very carefully. The expectation is that your child still reads for 10 minutes every night at home. Please record this in your child’s reading record so that star stamps can be rewarded. We will be monitoring how often children read at home. Books will continue to be changed either on a Monday or Friday as and when needed.

Snacks- Your child can bring a healthy snack to school to eat during break-time (fruit or vegetables).

Water bottles- Water bottles are now provided for the children in the classroom. Therefore, they do not need to bring in their own. 

Spelling - We no longer set weekly spellings for your child to practise, but we do encourage them to continue to practice the statutory spellings for Year 3/4. Take some time to practice these with your child; little and often is best. These statutory spellings are linked below.

PE- PE will now take place on a Thursday afternoon in the school hall. Please remember no jewellery, earrings or watches.
