What are we learning?

Please refer to the Year 3 Curriculum map on the curriculum page so you can see what we are learning and when!

PE

Children should come dressed in their PE uniform (Red tshirt, Navy shorts/joggers, School jumper/fleece) on their PE days

 Indoor PE: Tuesday

  Outdoor PE: Friday

Reading

Children will have two reading books in Year 3; a banded reading book and a 'Reading for Joy' book. Your child should be reading their school colour banded book more than once to aid with fluency and comprehension. Alongside this they can read another book of their choice to encourage 'Reading for Joy'.

Please read with your child daily, or as often as possible at home - recording in their diary when you listen to them read. Children will read to adult in school weekly.

It is important that children can not only read books but understand what they are reading.Try to discuss the story, characters and vocabulary with your children. Support with this can be found in the files at the bottom of this page.

Homework

Please check your child's homework diary for all homework pages. Their diary should be in class everyday.

Maths and English: Given out on Friday to be completed for the following Friday

Spelling: Given out on Wednesdays to practise rule at home

It is vital that children are learning the spelling rules in order to apply them to their writing, rather than just learning the words they bring home. A google search of the spelling rule will bring up lots more words to practise!
