Year 3

Welcome to Year 3! Take a look below to find out what we will be learning about this half term and our routines.

Autumn 1

 Homework

Homework will be sent out every Friday and is to be returned the following Monday. It will include weekly spellings and things we have learnt throughout the week.

Each child also has a login for; Spelling Shed, TT Rockstars and Reading Plus. We ask that, where possible, children access these  2-3 times a week as an extra piece of their homework. Any time spent on these apps will benefit learning. They can be accessed online through webpages or are downloadable as apps. Please speak to your child's class teacher if you have lost your log-in details.

Reading Books

Reading books are to be returned every Monday morning and will go back out as soon as these have been changed. Don't forget to sign the reading record each time your child has read to you.
