Homework

Maths homework is handed out every Tuesday. The hand in date is the Friday of each week (There will be no homework sent home during half term).

A spelling overview is sent out at the beginning of half term to support the children with learning spellings at home.

Please reading record books remain in school bags and please log any reading you do with your child at home.

 

 Notices & Reminders:

 

PE days are Monday and Tuesday’s. 

 

Next week, we will be completing our first termly times table check. This is a baseline assessment that we repeat 3 times throughout the year to track children’s progress and identify area’s we can support them with.

All children should now have TTRS/Numbot logins in their homework books. If anyone is having trouble with this please contact your class teacher. From after half term, we will be introducing a year group assembly each week with a focus on promoting times tables so please encourage your children to practice their times tables on TTRS (or on paper) at home.

As the weather starts to turn colder/wetter, please ensure children have coats/waterproofs in school.

If anybody is interested in volunteering or helping listen to readers, please get in touch via the Y3 email.

 

 

Have a great weekend!
