PE
PE will be on Wednesday and Friday
On PE days, children need to bring PE kit (labelled) in a separate bag, so they can change into their kit for each session.
Full PE kit must be worn and that includes, a white t-shirt, black shorts or jogging bottoms, a sensible pair of trainers and a drink (during the cold seasons it is advisable to bring a jumper).
Children with their ears pierced must remove their earrings for each P.E session themselves or alternatively they will need at have plasters in their P.E bags to protect their ears during physical activity. Long hair must be tied back.
Homework
Below are some of the key skills that you can work on to support your child throughout Year 3. We will send home weekly homework each Friday in your child’s homework bag. Please return homework in this bag each Wednesday to show their success and to earn Dojo points.
Reading regularly will develop a love of books and your child’s skills as a reader. We recommend reading at least three times each week. Each day you indicate in their diary that your child has read, this means they race along our Reading Racetrack. Three or more days reading per week earn Dojo Points. Every read your child does will count towards their own reading race track. Every child has a special rocket and their aim is to reach 250+ reads, which is the Governors’ Award by the end of the school year. 50 reads will earn them a Bronze Award, 100 reads will earn them a Silver Award and 200 reads will earn them a Gold Award.
Maths homework will be sent home every week. This will often practise a skill that has been taught previously. On-line games will also be added to your child’s account on TTRockstars throughout the year. All personal logins have been shared, but are also noted in the front of the reading diary. The Whiterose 1-Minute Maths app also provides free access to online games to practise maths fluency skills.
A SPaG activity will be sent home each week for children to practise their SPaG objective from the week.
Spellings that we want the children to learn each week will be posted on Dojo.
Times Tables
By the end of Y3 children are expected to know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.
In year 3 we introduce the multiplication tables of 3, 4 and 8. This is built upon taught tables in Key Stage 1 of 2, 5 and 10. Times tables are practiced daily, but please support your child further through continued practice at home. If you have any questions about how you can do this, please send me a message on Class Dojo and I will be happy to help.
