Welcome to Year 3

 This week we have thoroughly enjoyed year 6's 'enterprise' days, we had lots of colourful face paints and fingernails! In maths, we have practised our knowledge of time and have introduced telling the time to 5 minutes and then to the minute. Please do keep practising this at home; ICT games and Topmarks have some great telling the time games to play online! In English we have continued our writing of 'The Great Kapok Tree' and have focussed on conjunctions. We have also enjoyed learning about deforestation and the effects on the rainforest.

Homework 

Every Thursday your child will receive homework. This will usually alternate between Maths and English. This week it is Maths homework. Your child will bring home their White Rose Journal today. Please support your child to complete the activities on pages 101,102 and 103 on 'time' and return to school on Tuesday 1st July. Don't forget to recap knowledge of 'time' by reading through page 100 as the children have found this quite a tricky unit of work. Please do also encourage your child to work on Spelling Shed each week (not just the weeks we have English homework) as this will support them further with spellings, reading/phonics and vocab.

Look out for TT Rockstars and Spelling Shed logins in your child's homework diary. Please practice these as often as possible. Please see the guidance document below on how to log in to Spelling Shed. 

Every Monday your child will bring home reading books. Please read these books with your child and encourage your child to record the title and pages they read in their diary. If your child finishes a book, please read again for fluency.  The books need to be brought back each Monday so that they can be exchanged. Please note we will not be able to swap the books if they are not returned.
