It is the expectation that children read for 20 minutes a day at least 5 times a week.  Please ensure that your child’s reading record (found in their Homework Book) is signed each day.  The children can borrow books from their classroom or the school library.

Spelling
Year 3 children will have a list of spelling words sent home each week to learn for a test on the Friday.

Handwriting

Times Tables
Children need to complete the given times tables activity.  They also need to practise their ability to recall the times tables facts by using Times Table Rock Stars.  Logins for TTRS are included in your child’s Homework Diary.  Class teachers will also set exciting battles and challenges on this platform.  Engaging in these activities will help your child to recall these facts quickly and accurately.
