Welcome to the Year 3 Class Page.  The class teacher this year is Mrs Pimenta, who will be supported by Mrs Newton, Mrs Taylor and Mrs Mulkern.

You will find lots of information on this page - including your child's spellings - along with updates and pictures from our learning, important diary dates and knowledge organisers.

If you have any questions about anything, then please do not hesitate to contact the office, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

PE is on a Wednesday  - please come to school in your PE kit

Outdoor learning is on a Monday - your child MUST have wellies and a coat.  They DO NOT need a change of clothes but you may send in some tracksuit bottoms or water proof trousers.  We try and go out every week whatever the weather!

Homework

Spellings -  Will be published on the Year 3 class page of the school’s website every other Monday (fortnightly) with a spelling test taking place in school on the Thursday of the following week.  

Times tables – We will do a Cracking Times Tables Test each week.  Children all start on level 1 and move up the levels when they get all of the calculations correct. Please practise tables at home as often as you can in lots of different ways.  Some things to help can be found on our Class Page below.

Maths - Will be set on MyMaths.  It will be set on Monday, with the expectation that it will be completed by the following Monday. Your login can be found in your child’s reading record book.

English - Will be set on a Monday using the CGP books, and will either be SPAG or comprehension type activities. Again, the completed homework in the CGP books needs to be returned the following Monday.  Please remind your child they will need to look after these books!

Reading - Children are expected to read every day where possible and record what they have read in their yellow Reading Records.  These should be brought into school every Monday to be checked.

All homework should be completed as independently as possible please and should take no longer than half an hour.  If your child does need extra help, please make a note of this on the homework itself. Thank you as always for your support.

Reading Challenge

Please encourage your child to read a variety of books - both different genres and authors.  To help this we have a Reading Challenge list.
