Additional Activities

Lots of companies and businesses are helping with school closure, offering lots of different activities. I will continue to post, what I hope are useful links to help your child's learning at home.

Reading

Whilst at home we encourage you to read with your child daily, any book is great! If you would like some free eBooks please use the link below

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/reading

here are some amazing free resource from Oxford Reading Tree that we think will supplement the reading books that we have already sent home.

Maths

Gareth Metcalfe from I See Maths is running daily online maths lessons, with resources, for free on his website whilst we're closed. He's doing KS1, LKS2 and UKS2 lessons. His reasoning questions are brilliant so I'm sure the lessons will be too.

JK rowling has launched a website with free access to the harry potter books on audible and lots of activities such as word searches, fact files and video clips.

This page will be updated throughout the year with key information as well as a celebration of the learning and achievements of your child's journey in Year 3.

Important things to remember:

Your child needs to read at home every night and bring their book bag into school every day so an adult in school can hear them read.
Your child needs a P.E. kit in school every day and can be taken home at the end of every half term. This must include pumps or velcro trainers for outside games.
Your child needs a coat with a hood every day and wellies that can be kept in school.
School starts at 8:45am everyday and it is vital your child is in at this time.

At the start of the year we hold a 'Meet the Teacher' meeting.

The meeting is a great opportunity for you to find out what the expectations will be for this year and provide you with an overview of what will be covered in Year 3.

In the files section at the bottom of the page, you will find useful documents to help you understand what your child will be learning throughout their time in Year 3.

At the bottom of the webpage is a list on links that you may find useful. These links include copy of the presentation delivered during the 'Meet the Teacher' meeting and a copy of 'Share in our learning letter for Spring 1'

If there is any further information that you might find useful please let myself of Mrs Flanagan know.

For home learning, children will continue to take home a Mental Arithmetic maths book and a Reading Comprehension book. This will be sent home on Thursday and one page should be completed and returned to school by Tuesday morning.

Spellings will continue to be sent home every Thursday to practice for a test on Tuesday.

Please note that the timestables will be set and monitored through Times Table Rockstars.

Please note that Spellings will be set and monitored through Purple Mash.

Each week a copy of your child's spellings will be listed on the class page.
