Homework and Spellings
Each week spellings and any homework will be handed out on Monday these are to be completed at home during the week and handed in by the following Monday unless it is a bank holiday then it will be Tuesday.
Spellings will be tested on a Friday.
Maths: Please complete TT Rockstars or Times Table me:https://www.timestables.me.uk/
Reading
Children in Year 3 are expected to read their reading book at least times a week to an adult and their reading log needs to be signed. If your reading log is not signed by an adult we will presume you have not read. Reading is also counted as homework, so if children fail to read at home they will need to spend break time reading. There will be rewards for children that are reading consistently.
Please bring reading logs and reading books in regularly so that they can be updated. Thank you
Our second book: The Secret Elephant by Ellan Rankin will be used to help us write a recount in the form of a diary entry.
Maths
TT Rockstars
In Year 3 we will be using TT Rockstars to help them recall and practise multiplication facts. Children should also be logging on TT Rockstar's as much as they can and practice their times tables. Their login details will be in the front of their reading log so they can practice at home. Some weeks children will be asked to complete TT Rockstar's as their homework so if your child can't log on please let us know.
