Year 3

Welcome back!

We are very much looking forward to working with you all over the coming year. In Year 3 - Denton, which is taught by Mrs Kinton. The class is supported by Miss Devall. On a Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Richards and Mr. Dalton will be covering Year 3 during PPA times.

In Year 3, we expect the children to begin to be independent and responsible for their belongings and their learning. It is their responsibility to make sure that they complete any homework which has been set to support their learning.

Reading in Year 3
In Year 3 children are expected to read 5 times at home during the week. They have all been assigned books appropriate to their reading ability which they may change when needed. Please try and listen to your child read 5 times a week as this helps with phonics, comprehension and has a
positive impact on their writing!

Multiplication Practice
To support their times tables knowledge, it is important for the children to practice in school and at home. Every child has an account with TT Rockstars and there is an expectation that all children are regularly accessing this website and are learning their multiplication facts.

Spellings
We focus on spellings in class but we may send spellings home in the future to support their learning.

PE
PE will be on Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure that on those days your child has their PE kit in school, long hair must be tied back and earrings out.

Healthy snacks
In Year 3 the children will need to bring their own healthy snack in for break time. This will need to be a piece or fruit or some vegetables only. Biscuits, chocolates or sweets are not permitted.
Please ensure your child has a named water bottle that they can drink from during the course of the day.

Additional information
Finally, please could you ensure that all of your child’s uniform, including P.E kits, coats and any other items, are named. This enables the children to be much more independent and responsible for looking after their property and we can give things back to the right people.
If you have any questions regarding anything to do with the school day or your child’s learning, please feel free to speak to a member of the Year 3 team.
We will be very busy in Year 3 and have lots of exciting (as well as important) things planned for the year! Please see the termly curriculum overviews for more details.
