Mr Eastwood, Mrs Polli and Miss Nakhuda 

welcome you to Year 3.

Our school day starts at 8:55am and finishes at 3:25pm.

English, Maths, SPaG and Times Tables are taught daily. Please scroll down to see the full curriculum your child will be taught this year, along with a more detailed topic web for this half term. There are also links to useful websites and educational games at the bottom of this page to support your child's learning at home.

P.E.

P.E. takes place on a Wednesday and Yoga is taught by Little Yogis on a Tuesday. Please make sure your child's P.E. kit is clearly labelled. P.E. kits remain in school until the end of each half term.

Reading

Children are expected to read their banded book daily as part of their homework. Your child will choose their own book in school as and when required. The books will be at the level your child is reading at. You can help your child by reading with them and asking them questions. Children will be sent home with a bookmark with a range of comprehension questions to aid reading.

Allow children three full days to read their book carefully practising phonics, the meaning of words and comprehension. Once children have three signed days in their reading records they will earn a bead to place on their reading necklace and may choose a new reading book.

Your child's reading record should be signed and returned to school every day.

Times Table Rock Stars

Please practise times tables at home with your child. Children are expected to use Times Table Rockstars for 3-5 minutes each day at home, as research has shown that little and often is more effective than a longer session a few times a week. Children will be tested on their times tables each week. 

Homework

Weekly homework is set on a Friday. It will be a set of spellings and some maths practice.  It will be set through purple mash which can be accessed using laptops, computers, tablets and mobile phones. This will need to be completed and handed in online by the following Friday. If your child does not have access to the internet there will also be a paper version provided. 

Homework Timetable:

• Reading- Daily
• Times tables (TT Rockstars) - Daily 3-5 minutes. Times tables will be tested weekly.
• Spellings are set weekly. Spellings will be tested on Fridays. 

Mr Eastwood has PPA on a Thursday Morning 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Eastwood at the beginning or end of the school day or phone the school office to arrange an appointment.
