The information below will tell you more about the timetable and structure of life in year 3, as well as how you can help your child at home.

P.E: Year 3 will have PE on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on both of these days.

Library: Our library day will be a Friday. We will encourage children to select appropriate books to read independently or a book that we can read with them. The children will also have opportunity to read books from our reading corner.

Reading books: We are committed to developing your children as enthusiastic and confident readers and will be issuing them with a banded reading book to support this. An accelerated reader programme has also been launched across the school. You can read more on the accelerated reader website. 

We will be aiming to read with your child at least once each week, but it is important that they also read at home. Please try to read with your child and record in their reading record at least 3 times each week and more if you are able to.

Spelling: By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of the Year 3 and 4 spellings which you can see below. Given the amount of time children have been out of school, we recognise that some children also need assistance with some Year 1 and 2 spellings. We will be working on these words in school and it would be great if the children could practise them at home too. 

The children will have 10 spellings sent home on a Friday and they will be tested on these spellings a week later, so please spend time revising them at home. The children all have access to Spelling Shed games to support their learning. The guide below gives instructions for how to access this if your child needs help. 

Times tables: All children should have access to Times Tables Rock Stars to allow them to improve their multiplication facts. If you do not have your child's login details please let us know.

Below is a useful fact sheet for up to the 9 times table. If you know the facts on this sheet then you will also know the other related times table facts as the numbers can be swapped around. For example, by knowing that 2x6=12 you then also know that 6x2=12. I wonder if this might help you to know your times tables more quickly?!
