Please make sure that your child comes in with the appropriate kit at the start of each half term and that each item is clearly labelled.
Children need to be reading at least 3 times a week and each read needs to be signed off by an adult.
If you would like to support with the development of your child's comprehension, please ask them questions about what they have read, and discuss their answers with them - how did they reach that answer; what led them to their conclusion?
Each week will have a different focus; for example, adding the -s suffix to root words ending with a y. We are also encouraging the children to use the 'look, say, cover, write, check' method to help with the learning of their given words.
At the end of Year 4, the children will complete the statutory assessment of their tables knowledge. By the end of Year 3, children are expected to be fluent with the following tables: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10.
We hope the children will also have started, or be confident with, the 6's and 9's by the time they move into Year 4.
Autumn 1:
This half term we are excited to learn about The Stone Age! Year 3 will be exploring the properties of different rocks and identifying a range of fossils in Science. In Music they will learn how to play different pieces of music on the recorder and they will be 'getting their groove' on in PE, learning some Disco Classics as well as developing some core fundamental PE skills. In Art, we will be developing our drawing skills in a range of media to produce art work in the style of Paul Klee.
