Welcome to our Year 3 family.

We are all set for a busy year with lots of learning and fun!

Please find below lots of information about what life is like in

Year 3 on our class page. 

Mrs Samuel, Mrs Rice in Egypt class,

Miss Callear and Mrs Lewis in Lowry class.

Year 3 times and routine - Things to remember:

• Our classroom doors open at 8.45am and it is always lovely to see you all on time ready for the start the new school day. The classroom door is closed promptly at 8.50am.
• School finishes at 3.20pm.

Drinks and snacks

All the children will be provided with a named water bottle from school. 

They can also bring a healthy snack, such as fruit, cheese and crackers, malt loaf, rice cakes or breadsticks. No chocolate or crisps, please.  

Please bring your book bag to school each day with your reading books and record. Don't forget to ask your parent to sign your reading record each time you read. Reading the books more than once increases children's reading fluency and encouraging children to discuss what they have read supports their understanding. 

Monday - Bring to school your PE kits.

We will be doing  PE activities on Monday afternoon this term for both classes. The children need to have their full and correct PE kits in school on Mondays, all labelled with names (please help us with this, as it does support children to be responsible and independent). We recommend that the kits are kept in school until the end of the half term, so that the children do not miss PE with our new sports coach. 

Similarly, please ensure your child has their full correct PE kit if they are attending any after school clubs. Please bring PE kits back to school the following day. 

Homework

The main focus of homework this year is reading and TTRS (Time Tables Rock Stars). 

The children are expected to read for at least 10 minutes every day and have this recorded this in their reading record. Books will be changed regularly, each time they read at home, their reading record will be stamped at school and they will get closer to the next reading reward.

Please also ensure your child is practising the times tables at least ten minutes every day too.

To support the children with their spellings, they can play the Morths Spelling Game and practise the spellings of Year 3 Common Exception Words (CEW) that are in the middle of their Reading Records.
