Homework Expectations

In Year 3, children are expected to read every night at home in order to develop their fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. All children have a homework diary in which they should record which page of their book they are up to. This diary will be checked weekly to ensure children are completing their reading homework. In addition to this, children receive a page of Maths homework per week. This goes home on a Thursday and must be back in school the following Tuesday. During Year 3, all children will be expected to know the following timestables: x2, x3, x4, x5, x8 and x10. These will be tested regularly to ensure they have quick responses. Please practise these with your children. Each Friday, children receive a list of spellings, based on our spelling rule for the week, which they are expected to learn at home. They are tested on these words in class on the following Friday.

P.E.

We have P.E. on a Wednesday (unless Year 3 have Forest School that half term). Every Thursday, Year 3 have Games so please ensure that your child comes to school on these days wearing their sports kit. Kit should include school PE t-shirt, school jumper, tracksuit bottoms (or shorts) and trainers.

Forest School:

Year 3 will be taking part in Forest School in Autumn 2.
