Welcome to the Year 3 class page!

Dear our fabulous Year 3’s,

We have made it to the summer holidays although it is not how we expected! We hope you enjoy this last week and still find ways to celebrate the end of the school year. We want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy summer with your family.

If you can, please keep reading daily and practising your times tables so that all your hard work over this year does not go to waste - as we know how easy it is to forget these skills!!

Daily Home Learning tasks

Week beginning Monday 13 7 20

Click on the file at the bottom of this page to view a suggested learning timetable for the week beginning Monday 13th July. This week, the maths is from the White Rose Maths home learning page (a link is on the suggested tietabke). A reminder that this is a suggested timetable as it is important to find a balance between the learning and being at home as a family. 

Some of the activites for English can be found at the bottom of the page as a PDF.

Please send a picture of your child doing their learning to schoolcommunication@st-ambrose,manchester.sch.uk

Prayers

Tenten have released some daily prayers for families, these are a great way to start and end your day, thinking about others and reminding ourselves that even in hard times, we can still think of those less fortunate than ourselves and ask for God's help.

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.

 

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.
