Welcome to Year 3!
Our day to visit the library will be a Friday so please return your library books on Thursday. In Year 3, children are encouraged to choose their own reading books to take home. We have a range of books in the class and the school library, including ones that are linked to phonics learning for those who still benefit from them. We would encourage children to read with an adult daily or as often as possible at home.
PE will be on a Monday and Thursday but we ask that children keep their PE kits in their lockers at all times. Our PE kit consists of a house-coloured top (as worn on sports days), dark shorts/ bottoms and appropriate footwear. No football kits. Please remember to tie up hair and remove earrings on PE days. Please note, children will still need a separate PE kit in school as children are not allowed to take part in PE in outdoor learning clothing.
Outdoor Learning is every other Thursday children should come in dressed ready for outdoor learning. What is worn can be weather dependent as the children are outside without the option of this being inside for these sessions. Jeans and shorts are not to be worn due to the nature of activities children may take part in during these sessions. Arms and legs are to be covered (to protect against scratches and nettles) and clothing (including shoes) should be suitable to get dirty -we do have a mud kitchen in the outdoor learning space, and it can get a little boggy!

Homework
In Year 3, weekly spelling homework is set on Friday for the following week. The spelling sheets are in 2 sections and children should ideally practice their list over the week in order to retain the spelling knowledge as effectively as possible. Spellings are tested the following Friday.
At this stage, times tables become a major focus of children's learning. The school subscribes to Times Table Rockstars which is available on most devices as a website or an app. Children are encouraged to play at least 5 minutes of times table games at least 3 times a week at home, as well as working on times tables in class, and there are always various competitions and incentives throughout the year.
