What do you need in Year 3?

• Refillable Waterbottle - in school every day
• Healthy, low/no sugar snack or snack money in a named purse/wallet for breaktime
• Small backpack for your diary, homework and waterbottle
• School colour banded reading book AND Reading for Joy book (from school/local library or home)
• Blue Diary: to record reading, spelling and any messages.
• Homework book on the correct days (see below)
• If you wish to bring your own pencil case, it must be small enough to fit in your tray and must not contain any scissors or sharpeners.

Your child should bring their diary and both reading books into school each day. 

PE

Children should come dressed in their PE uniform (Red tshirt, Navy shorts/joggers, School jumper/fleece) on their PE days

 Indoor PE: Tuesday

  Outdoor PE: Friday

Reading

Children in Year 3 will have two reading books: a banded reading book and a 'Reading for Joy' book. Your child should be reading their school colour banded book more than once to help improve fluency and understanding. Alongside this, they can enjoy another book of their choice to encourage a love of reading.

Please try to read with your child daily, or as often as possible, and record any reading in their diary. Children will also have the opportunity to read to an adult at school.

It’s important that children don’t just read the words, but also understand what they are reading. Talking about the story, characters, and new vocabulary with your child can really help. You can find support and helpful resources in the files at the bottom of this page. 

Homework

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

Maths and English: Given out on Friday to be completed for the following Friday

Spelling: Given out on Thursdays to practise rule at home

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 practise!
