Home Learning
Reading: Thank you in advance for all your support and encouragement from home. Our recommendation is that the children read every night for at least 15 minutes and talk to you about what they have read. Please discuss any new vocabulary that may appear in the text.
The reading books are given to the children on Monday and should be returned on a Friday to be changed again the following Monday.
Times tables: In Year 3 times tables and the related division facts are used regularly in lessons so please practice these regularly at home. E.G. 3 x 4 =12 so 12 ÷ 4 = 3. The children focus on the 3, 4 and 8 times tables this year.
Spellings: These will be tested weekly on Fridays. Please use the spelling booklet to work on spellings each week. It can be downloaded below:
