Year 3 Class Information

Year 3 Reading Reading books are changed every Tuesday and Thursday, but must be brought to school every day.

Please help your child to practise their reading book every night (just a few pages or a short story) and sign and date the blue record book, showing the page reached or book finished.

Use the Investigate Reading Bookmark to ask your child questions about the book and comment about your child's reading and understanding.

Year 3 PE Lessons PE lessons are held on Wednesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your child has the full PE Kit in school, kept in a PE bag, hung on their coat peg.

PE Kit consists of: House t-shirt, shorts, pumps or trainers, sweatshirt, jogging bottoms (for outdoor activities during Autumn and Spring term).

Swimming We will go swimming each week during Spring Term at Farnworth Pool. Your child will need to bring a swimming kit trunks or a one piece swimming costume and a towel.

Homework will be given out every week. Please ensure that your child completes this and returns it to school on time.

Please make sure that your child has the equipment they need for Homework – a pencil, ruler, glue stick and crayons and a quiet place to work, at a table if possible.

Sometimes the Homework set will be an activity for your child to do with you e.g. an activity linked to Topic Work or a Maths game to play, rather than a formal piece of work.

In Year 3, the children will have the following pieces of Homework to complete:  A piece of Maths or English homework which will be given on Monday and due in the following Monday  A Weekly Spelling List. This will be given on Monday and the children will be tested every Friday.

Please practise Multiplication Tables (2x, 5x, 10x, 3x, 4x, 9x) and Number Bonds regularly. Our aim is for children to know their multiplication facts and number bonds with instant recall ie give an answer within three seconds.
