Welcome to Year 3!

We hope you all had a lovely summer break and Welcome to Year 3!

We are excited to start our learning this half term. Please find all of the different things that we are learning on our curriculum overview pages below. These will be updated each half term with all of the fun things that we are learning. 

Please order lunches at home to help us to have a smooth start to the day and encourage your child to bring in a healthy snack for playtime. 
 
Please could you ensure that your child has their equipment for school and their reading book in school each day. Please check that your child's name is on their equipment so that we can return it to your child should it get lost. Please also ensure that any school uniform is named so that we can return it to your child quickly and easily. 

Important information:

PE

PE days – Wednesdays

Please make sure your child brings in their PE kit on Monday at the start of the week and they will come back home on a Friday – We will be changing into our PE kits at school. Please make sure ALL clothing and bags are NAMED!

Clothing

Please ensure all your child’s clothing, lunchboxes, shoes, gloves, snack boxes etc. are all named!

Home/ Book Folders

These will go home and need to come back into school every day.

PE Kit Information

Children need to bring their kit to school. Many sessions are outside so please send them in with weather appropriate clothes - plain black, grey, navy or purple clothing and dark trainers please – not white/ multi-coloured trainers, heavily branded clothing items or team football kits.  Tie-up laces should only be worn if children have been taught to tie their laces themselves. Please make sure that children have earrings removed before school or taped over with plasters or micro-porous tape. 

Lunch & Snack Information

Lunches can be ordered at home to help us to have a smooth start to the day however can still be ordered in class.  Children can bring a fruit/ healthy snack if they wish for break time along and they must bring in their water bottle.

Times Tables and Spelling:

In Year 3, we begin to focus our learning on the 3, 4 and 8 times tables as well as consolidating the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Please encourage your child to practise these at home. Each pupil has a login for Times Tables Rockstars, please ask if it has been forgotten so we can give a reminder. Spellings are set weekly and new assignments will be on Spelling Shed every Friday. Please ask if you need another login. Spelling tests will take place on Friday’s, and words will be looked at all throughout the week.

Library:
We will be going to the library on Friday afternoons so please ensure that children have their library books with them if they would like to change them.
