Physical Education

The children need their full PE kit in school every day, including trainers.

We will send PE kits home every Friday to be washed and they must be returned to school each Monday please. 

Earrings must be removed or covered in ear tape provided from home. Hair must be tied back. 

The children have one indoor and one outdoor PE session each week.

Our PE days for Autumn 2024 are:

Seaview –       

Denzil - 

Priory – 

Homework

Homework will be set every Friday and must be completed by the

following Friday.

Each week, a Year 3 child is expected to complete:

• READING Read at least 5 times a week and record a response in their reading record (this could be written by a child or by the adult reading with them); Reading records should be signed by an adult at least three times out of the five reads each week to enable children to receive reading "Readopoly" rewards
• SPELLING Spelling Shed, weekly rules, common exception words from KS1, dictation
• TIMES TABLES The children can log in to Times Tables Rock Stars to practise the multiplication tables set for them by their teacher. We may use other games and ideas to help them through the term.

 Spelling Homework 

Year 3 are learning their Year 3 statutory spellings once they are confidently using their Year 1 and 2 spellings in their classwork.

Each child will receive 6 spellings each week to practise using the Kinetic letters handwriting they are learning in a spelling homework book. These spellings will be tested each Wednesday, and the class teachers will check the children are spelling the words correctly in their class work, too.

Once the children have built up 50 correct spellings over the term, they will receive their Bronze Spelling Award, 100 spellings earns them a Silver Award, and 150 spellings will earn them their Gold! If the children consistently get 5 or 6 correct a week through the year, they may even receive their 200 correct spellings Platinum Award!

Times Tables

Please continually practise your child’s times tables with them over the year. The government expectation is that children should know all times tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Year 4. With this in mind, it is important children consolidate their learning regularly at home in order to meet age related expectations.

In Year 3, we learn the multiplication and associated division facts for the 5, 10, 2, 4, 8 and 3 times tables.
