Year 3
Welcome to Y3,
This is where we will share with you important information about our class and we will also tell you about the learning have done.Our new Maths helper videos are now up and running and available on our APAT YouTube channel. These videos explain how Maths is taught in our school and across the APAT trust; they are an excellent resource to support children's learning at home. Click on the link below to access.
For Autumn 1, PE will be on Mondays and Wednesday and children should come to school in their PE kits. This consists of a white PE top, red shorts, white socks and a plain navy blue tracksuit.

Homework:
Reading is a whole school priority. It is incredibly important that we work together to foster a love of reading for pleasure and make sure that our children are not just excellent decoders but understand what they are reading too.
Children in Y3 are expected to read at least four times a week and have their diaries signed by a parent. Tricky or new words can be noted in their reading diaries to enable the children to investigate their meaning. If your child does not find any new words in their text - the book is not challenging enough!
Homework:
Weekly homework will be set every FRIDAY. Details of their tasks will be explained in class and students will bring their Homework Books home to complete the work independently. Homework is due in the following FRIDAY, it can be handed in anytime before then.
If your child is absent, their homework will be available for them to collect when they return.
A new spelling concept is sent home every two weeks. Children have two weeks to practise the words. There will be only one assessment at the end of the term.
Times Tables Rock Stars will have a weekly task to complete online.
Mental arithmetic homework will also be set each Friday being sent home in the homework books.
Tasks will be marked in class and any misconceptions addressed in the lesson.
There is also a Foundation Subject Homework Grid with suggested tasks for Autumn, should the children wish to complete any. These can be completed and brought in at any point this term.
