Useful information

Reading books will be changed on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please ensure that reading books/diaries are brought into school every day, even if your child's book does not need changing.
Homework and handwriting activities will be sent home each week on a Friday,
Spellings will also be sent home on a Friday, to be tested in school the following Friday.
Our class book this half-term is 'This Morning I Met a Whale' by Michael Morpurgo. If your child has a copy of this book or can borrow one from the library please can they bring it into school, so they can follow the text as we read aloud as a class.

To help us learn our times tables we use TT Rockstars! Now we are in Year 3, the children should know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. By the end of the year we also need to know the 3, 4 and 8 times tables.
All children in Year 3 also have a Sumdog account. Sumdog is a personalised maths and spelling practice that includes lots of great games.
