YEAR 3 HOMEWORK This half term, we have decided to trial something different to the usual weekly homework. We are hoping that this will give children and families more flexibility regarding when homework is handed in and also give children the opportunity to enjoy learning through the wider curriculum. Our focus this half term is History. Here is the homework for this half term: READING - EVERY night for a minimum of 20 minutes. Children should have their reading journal in school every day and are encouraged to use the comprehension section at the front of the journals to think further about their reading. SPELLING – each Friday there will be a spelling test using the weekly spellings below. MATHS • Practice timetables for weekly ‘Multiplication Club’ tests. This half term we will be looking at 2,3, 5 and 10 times tables • Very soon the children will have a login for a new, online maths homework ‘MyMaths’ (individual log in to follow) HOMEWORK PROJECT – See below for the activities that make up this half term’s homework project. They should to be completed and handed in on or before Friday, 12th October 2018. These activities can be done in any order. They can be handed in in any format: paper, scrapbook etc • • •
