Year 3

Welcome to year 3’s class page. Here we will keep you updated with all of our amazing learning over the year. At the bottom of this page you will find documents and links that you may find useful to support your child’s learning at home.

P.E.

Our P.E lessons will take place on a Tuesday.  Children are to come to school wearing the correct PE kit. During the Autumn term, Y3 will be having swimming lessons at Brownhills Ormiston Academy. Mr McNamee and Mrs Dale will walk with the children to and from the venue. Please ensure your child(ren) remember their swimming kit and towel.

Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather. Our school PE kit consists of a white t-shirt, black shorts and pumps. Children are allowed to wear black jogging bottoms, a black jacket/sweatshirt and trainers for outdoor P.E lessons. Hair should be tied back and no jewellery should be worn.

Homework

Reading

• Children who go to daily phonics lessons are allocated their RWI eBooks through Oxford Owl. Children who do guided reading lessons have eBooks allocated to them through Oxford Reading Buddy, as well as a book to bring home. Logins for the websites can be found in your child's Reading Record. Your child will also have a reading for pleasure book from the class library. It is expected that children read at home to an adult at least 4 times per week, with the adult recording this in the Reading Record. Reading Records will be checked every Friday and children who have read at least 4 times will be awarded with 5 DoJo points. 

Spelling

• Children should practise and learn their spellings which are sent home every week. They will be tested on Fridays. 

Maths

• Children need to practise their times tables using the Times Tables Rock Stars app.  They should complete sessions set by their teacher weekly (30 sessions).

We appreciate all of your support with homework, please help your child complete as much as possible to help them earn lots of DoJo points! 

Tuck

Children can order tuck for morning break. Each item costs 53p. We offer:

• American style pancakes
• Milkshake (Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla)
• Juice (Orange, Forest Fruits or Apple)

Tuck cannot be ordered if the child has no money with them.

Uniform

Children are responsible for looking after their own belongings. Please make sure your child’s name is on all of their belongings clearly to avoid confusion and the mix up of items. Thank you.
