How you can help your child with their learning:

  • Use the Knowledge Organisers (at the bottom of this page) to help your child learn the information we are exploring.
  • Discuss the school day with your child – ask them what they’ve been learning about.
  • Read with them (a book together related to an aspect of the curriculum would be amazing) but reading of any kind is welcome.
  • Hear your child read there book and discuss the story with them or read a story to your child.
  • Assist with any homework challenges.
  • Help your child to learn their times tables and mental maths. The year 3 target is x2, x3, x4, x5, x8 and x10 by the end of the year.
  • Ensure your child has all the clothing and equipment they will need in school each day (especially their reading diary).

 

Other things to remember:

  • We will now be doing PE on Tuesdays & Wednesdays so please make sure your child comes to school in kit with warm clothing for the rest of the day, hair tied back (if past shoulder length) and earrings removed (or taped if they cannot be removed).
  • Snacks for morning playtime should be fruit or vegetables only.

  • Classroom drinks should be water only and in a clearly named bottle. Other drinks are acceptable for playtime and lunchtime.

  • Sending your child into school with a change of footwear for break and lunch.

  • Times tables will be set on the Times Tables Rockstars website and spellings on Spelling Shed, which your child can login to using their details stuck in their reading records.
