Miss Lazar and Mrs Hunter
Our P.E. this term is on Monday and Friday. On Monday, we will be doing handball at school and Friday will be dance. On these days, please come into school dressed in your P.E. kit.
Homework
Well done to all of the children who have been reading at night and have had their reading journal signed by an adult. Lots of house points have been given to children who have showed their signed journal to an adult in school.
Your child will bring home a pink homework book on Wednesday. Please log onto Teams to view this week's homework. There is an English task and 4 Mathletics tasks that have been set on Mathletics.
A spelling task will be added on Friday.
The English task is to be completed in the pink book and handed in on the following Monday. Mathletics tasks are to be completed by the Monday.
Library books
On Tuesdays, Y3 will go to the library to borrow a book for the week.
Can the children please read these books at home and look after them carefully?
All books are to be brought back into school on the following Tuesday and we will visit the library to return them and borrow a new book.
Please also look at the year 3 reading list below, which suggest a wider range of suggested books to read.
Children are allowed to bring in a piece of fresh or dried fruit to eat at break time. Absolutely NO NUTS in school please.
For children with long hair, please make sure it is fully tied back using a green or hair-coloured band.
It is important that you hear your child read as often as possible, ideally every day. The children are responsible for changing their own reading book daily (when necessary).
The focus in year 3 is to enhance and apply their knowledge of root words (prefix/suffix), develop positive attitudes to reading and understand a range of texts (narrative, poetry, plays, non-fiction and reference books) by asking questions, drawing inferences from actions with evidence, predicting what might happen and participating in class discussions. In addition to their reading book, the children can also read newspapers (First News is excellent for children) and magazines (The Week Junior).
Useful web sites
Times tables are really important in year 3, with a focus on the 3x, 4x and 8x tables. The children have access to Times Tables Rockstars via the link below. I will set specific times tables in the Garage Room for practice as part of their homework but children should feel free to use the site as often as they like!
Have fun rock stars!
