PE |
Our P.E. lessons will be on Wednesdays and Fridays. On a Wednesday's we try and get outside for P.E, weather permitting. Due to the often wet and mucky playground over winter we recommend a spare pair of trainers to be kept at school for PE and break times. |
|
Weekly Set Homework |
Each week we will set a piece of both English and Maths homework. English will include spelling and grammar activities as well as sentence writing. Maths will now be on a paper sheet and will link to the learning that is happening in class. Each week your child will bring home their work folder containing these activities which will need to be returned to school by the following Wednesday. |
|
Reading |
Children are expected to read to an adult at home for at least 10 minutes daily. Children can change their own books in school once they have been read to an adult. Please indicate in the reading diary when your child has read including independent reading of their own books. Please ensure children bring their books and diaries into class daily so we can support reading in school. |
|
Spelling |
Please see the year 3 and 4 word list below. These are the spellings that children are expected to learn to spell by the end of Year 4. |
|
Timetables |
In Year 3 children are expected to know the following: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 x tables. Here are some suggested websites to help you practise |
