Together, our good works can make a real difference.

Welcome to Class 3!

A very warm welcome to Class 3! We are looking forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, new experiences and lots of fun together.

Here are a few important reminders to help your child have a happy, healthy and successful year.

Water Bottles

Please make sure your child brings a named water bottle to school every day. Children are encouraged to drink water regularly and will have access to their bottles throughout the school day.

PE

Our PE day this term is Tuesday when we have a double session but it is useful for PE kits to be in school Monday to Friday in case of timetable changes.

Reading Records

Reading regularly at home helps children develop their reading skills, fluency and confidence.

Children can earn a House Point for reading at home on 5 consecutive days. To receive their House Point, their reading record must be signed by an adult each day.

We encourage children to read a little every day and spend time talking about the books and stories they enjoy.

Homework

Homework will be sent home every Friday and should be completed and returned by the following Thursday.

Homework may include:

• Maths practice
• Reading comprehension
• A topic-related task

Children will also receive spellings to learn for the following Friday's spelling test.

The spelling words will also be taught and revisited in the classroom. 

Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS)

As part of our homework in Years 3 and 4, children are encouraged to complete regular sessions on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS).

By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know their times tables up to 12 × 12. Short, regular practice sessions on TTRS can help children build their speed, accuracy and confidence, while making learning fun.

Thank you for supporting your child with their times tables practice at home.
