Year 3

Your teacher this year is Mr Crookes and Miss Rolph will also be working with us to support individuals and groups during our lessons. 

Reading in Year Three… 
Reading with your child as often as possible is essential to their progress. We use reading records to keep track of children’s reading progress at home, please keep these up to date. Children may change their books when they have finished reading them.
 
Times Tables  
Developing recall of all multiplication and division facts is important in Year 3. Please practise these with your child to ensure they know them securely. We will continue to use Times Table Rockstars to consolidate these facts too!  Details of how we assess this recall can be found below.
 
Homework 

Spellings 
Spellings will be tested on a Thursday. Children will be given a list of all that half-term’s spellings to learn and the weeks they will be tested on before their first test. Children are expected to practise spellings by writing them out. They can also put them into sentences. This will help with their sentence structure and use of punctuation. Children will then have their scores for each week sent home.
 
Times Tables 
Each week, alongside spellings, we will have a times table test. The times table facts to learn for that week will be given out with your child’s score from the previous week. We will also have weekly TT Rock Stars sound checks so playing other game modes at home will also help your child’s understanding of multiplication and division facts.

General Reminders… 
  • Year Three’s PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Children must come to school in PE kit on these days. For health and safety reasons, your child should not wear jewellery on these days, especially earrings.  They must have appropriate footwear too.   
  • Please return any previous reading books before your child chooses a new book.
