Welcome to Year 3!

Welcome to Year 3 and to Sycamore Class! This year we have Miss Hart, Mr Lomax, Miss Westwell and myself all working together to help the children in year 3 to thrive and have a positive start to their time in the juniors! I am really looking forward to teaching Year 3, and helping them to discover new ideas, ask questions and become curious learners. 

 

Please remember to look at our news articles and Facebook page, so that you can keep up-to-date with all of our exciting experiences and amazing learning! You can also find more information about our routines, learning and class topics on this website, along with a timetable of key dates. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or by sending me an email.

Homework

 

Tasks: Every Friday, your child will be set homework in their homework book. This needs to be completed and returned by the following Thursday, however if it is completed sooner, please send it in. 

Spellings: We will share ten words each Friday linked to a spelling rule that we have been practising in class for your child to learn each week. These words may also include the common exception words relevant to your child’s learning. There will be a spelling test the following Friday for children to show what they have learnt. 

Reading: Children will be able to change their books once they have completed an Accelerated Reader quiz on their book (Please complete these at home where possible.). Those children who are not following the Accelerated Reader will be able to change their books once they have discussed it with an adult in school. Please access reading in other ways such as through local libraries and books you have at home. Please support your child at home by listening to them read daily. The children do have their own Reading Record. Please write in this when you have heard them read. If your child reads more independently at times, then they can write in the pages they have read as well as write a sentence about what they have read. 

Times tables: Each Friday, your child will complete a times table test. The times table they need to practise will change as they progress but their goal is to beat their previous score. This information will be in their Homework book along with an activity to complete. Your child will practise their times tables in school but it would benefit them to practise at home too which they can do on Times Table Rockstars. The more practise they get, the easier they will find it to recall their times tables. The government specify certain times tables are to be learnt by children in particular year groups:

●Year 2: 2x, 5, 10x tables

●Year 3: 3x, 4x, 8x tables

Please bring in reading books and and reading records every day.

Reminders

 

Water: Please ensure that your child has a bottle of water every day, labelled with their name, to keep them hydrated throughout the day and to drink with their lunch.

 

Snack: Children are allowed to bring in a healthy snack (i.e. fruit or a cereal bar) for morning/ afternoon play. This should remain in their tray (not lunchbox) until eaten. 

  • No chocolate or crisps permitted.
  • Please note that we are a nut-free school due to the severe allergies that we have.

Uniform: Please make sure that all uniform is named as this makes it easier to find and be returned to you.

Forest School: Please ensure that children come to school dressed in Forest School clothes. Children will need long trousers, joggers or leggings. Please bring waterproof clothing and wellies on their Forest School day in a carrier bag. This could be a waterproof all-in-one suit or separate waterproof trousers and coat. This will help to keep children warn and their own clothes dry on those wet days!

P.E kits: Please ensure that your child's PE kit is in school. It will be stored on their peg and will be sent home to be washed at the end of every half-term. If it requires washing prior to this, please ensure that it is in school on a Monday so that it can remain in school for the entire week. 

 

Reading Books: Please could you ensure that your child brings their reading book to school everyday so they have the opportunity to read it in class as well as at home. Their reading records must also be in school every day so they can be checked and updated.
