Hello and Welcome to Year 3's class page. I hope you all had a wonderful summer, I can't wait to hear all about it! We have such an exciting year ahead of us with lots of new things to learn and experience together, keep an eye on this page for updates on what we are learning and any extra information you might need (homework, PE days).

Scroll down to the files to see the 'Welcome to Year 3' PowerPoint along with some useful information for supporting your child at home.

TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS

(These may change throughout the year as we have specialist teachers for some lessons - I will update you via e-mail)

Reading: 

It is important that children can not only read books but understand what they are reading.

Please read with your child daily. Try to discuss the story, characters and vocabulary with your children. Support with this can be found in the files at the bottom of this page.

Your child should be reading their school colour banded book more than once to aid with fluency and comprehension. Alongside this they can read another book of their choice to encourage 'Reading for Joy'. 

Please check your child's homework diary for all homework. Their diary should be in class everyday.

SPELLING:

To be sent home on Fridays

Weekly spellings are based upon a spelling rule.

It is vital that children are learning the spelling rules in order to apply them to their writing, rather than just learning the words they bring home. A google search of the spelling rule will bring up lots more words to practice!
