Welcome to the Class 3 page

This is where you will find out all about our learning and other important information regarding Year 3. 

The Class Teacher is Mr Qureshi.

The class is taught by Mrs Holdak on Wednesday afternoons.

We are supported by Mrs Burton and Mrs Rudge.

Homework

Homework will be given out on Fridays and will be due back in on a Wednesday. 

Maths - each week, please complete one section of the Schofield and Sims test booklet. (A, B or C.)
It would be helpful to do working out and pictorial representations on a spare piece of paper. (We try to encourage the children to bring in any working that has been slipped into their S&S book by referring to it and awarding house points.)

Also, please spend some time learning or practising times tables.  (Each child has a Times Tables Rockstars login as they often enjoy testing themselves this way).  The consolidation of these will after all help in all other areas of Maths and when tackling more complicated concepts. 

Spelling - every child will have a spelling journal, in which over the course of the week they collect their own individual spelling words.  (This is a book which should travel in and out of school on a daily basis, so words can be regularly practised both at school and home.  You may also want to choose a couple from the Y3 and Y4 spelling list to learn.  

Reading - we are expected to read a little every night.  You may wish to keep a record of your own personal 'reading journeys'.  There will be a list of recommended reads, below.

Topic Grid - Our other homework is to choose an activity from the topic grid. It may take a couple of weeks to complete an activity, please hand this in once it is finished.

PE

The class will have PE on a Wednesday and Thursday. We will begin this term by doing 'adventurous outdoor activities' (on Wednesdays); and improving our tag-rugby skills (on Thursdays).  We are trying a new system where children come to school in their PE kit on PE days in order to reduce the learning time spent changing. Please check that the PE kit the children come in is suitable for being outside in cold weather. Please leave earrings at home on PE days and tie up hair.  It is also highly advisable that children have carrier bags, school shoes and spare socks with them, so that any muddy trainers or socks can be stored away and the children have access to clean footwear.  

Outdoor

We shall be carrying out the 'Daily Mile', spending the majority of break times, and some parts of other curriculum lessons outside on the playground or field (where weather permits); which can get very muddy!  It is important that children have a raincoat in school at all times.
