Each week, Year 3 will be sent home homework in a range of subjects.
Currently, Year 3 have the following homework days:
* Maths- TTRS 30 mjinutes of garage.
* Reading - five times a week.
* Spelling - Sent out Friday for the following Thursday.
What happens if you can not do your homework?
If you can't do your homework at home then the door is always open for you to come in to school and do it. Likewise, if you are unsure of a question, come in and see your class teacher before/after school or at break/lunch time. We are here to help!
Times Tables
Make sure you are learning your times tables all the time. You are expected to have rapid recall of all the times table facts of the 2's, 5's, 10's, 3's, 4's and 8's by the time you have finished Year 3.
You will be tested weekly on your times tables during our Mental Arithmetic lesson.
Why not make x table practice fun? Login to Times Table Rockstars to earn coins for getting questions correct. Remember, there are extra rewards for the children who earn the most coins.
Physical Education
PE for Year 3 will be every Tuesday and Thursday. It is expected that pupils wear the correct school kit. All earrings need to be removed (due to Derbyshire County Council policy, we can no longer provide tape to cover them) plus a bobble be provided to tie back long hair. In colder months, pupils may wish to bring a tracksuit. Please could you also ensure all items of P.E kit are clearly labelled with your child's name. Thank you.
We will keep you up to date with reminders via Class Dojo and Parent Hub throughout the year.
If you have any questions or concern, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are more than happy to help wherever we can.
You can contact us via phone (the school telephone number is 01246 822324) or Class Dojo.
