Reading

Year 3 have been set a challenge to read as many times as they can in the Summer term. If they read 5 times or more in 1 week they get a brilliant high 5 sticker which can earn them prizes at the end of each term.

As well as this we are encouraging the children to take part in our book bingo, to win lots of exciting prizes. Children need to read a range of books to create a line or a full house in order to win prizes. A copy of the bingo sheet is attached at the bottom of this page.

Finally we have introduced our racing to read displays, where children move their car across the track everytime they read at home. Every time they reach a multiple of 10 they receive a sticker and to help promote team work once every child in the class has reached each multiple of 10 they earn a special class prize.

Homework

The children will have been given a homework grid (which is attached at the bottom of this page). They are expected to complete at least 2 pieces of homework per half term, which is 4 over the whole term. It is optional as to whether these are spread across the 2 half terms or all 4 are completed in the first half term. Of course if the children are enjoying their homework we would encourage them to complete as many as they like.

Children then get a certificate at the end of the term depending on how many point they have earnt:

Bronze award - 50 points

Silver award - 100 points

Gold award - 150 points

Top of the ladder - 200 points

Each Friday we have a spelling test. We practice the spellings daily in school and you will also recieve a copy of their spellings to help them at home. The children are also expected to practice their times tables at home using TT rockstars.

My Maths

Each Monday My maths homework will be set. The log in's are in the front of the childrens planners and they have until the following Monday to complete this. If they don't have access to a computer there is a homework club on a Monday night and My Maths club at lunch times on a Tuesday and Thursday.

PE and Games

Our timetabled PE day is Thursday (indoor) and our games slot (Swimming) is Wednesday. Children should have black shorts, a white t shirt and plimpsoles for indoor PE and tracksuit bottoms, a white t shirt, jumper and trainers for outdoor PE. All earrings must be taken out and long hair needs to be tied up.

Swimming

- Girls will need a one piece costume, a swimming hat, a towel and a hair bobble for their hair. If the children wear earrings then they must be taken out before they are allowed to swim.

- Boys will require swimming trunks or shorts, a swimming hat and a towel.

A swimming hat must be worn by all children.

All equipment should be named, if possible, and kept in a named bag which will be hung on the children's pegs in the cloakroom.

We advise the swimming bag to go home every Wednesday after your child has swum.

Verruca socks should be worn if needed but can be bought from the office.
