Year 3 Reading Diaries advice for parents

Dear Parents / Carers,

Over the past few days we have received several queries about how to fill in your child’s reading diary when you listen to them read – especially the comments sections. Attached are several documents which should help with this.

Ideally, children in Year 3 should be heard reading aloud every day, but we hope for at least 3 entries per week by an adult from home, to encourage reading for pleasure, fluency, expression, decoding text, and developing vocabulary and confidence when reading aloud. When an adult fills in a child’s Reading Diary with the book details and makes a comment / signs the diary, children are then rewarded in school with house points.

Please contact any of the Year 3 teachers if you have any questions about children reading in Year 3.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Esme and Piper visit London!

Esme and Piper visited London over the weekend, saw the queue and sent these photos. The visit was fab, and they learned a great deal about the events of the day:

A very thought-provoking visit!

Year 3 Spellings and Homework due

Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that if your child wishes to have their homework efforts rewarded, please send in their completed projects / Orange books in, by the end of Thursday this week.

Children will be tested on their spellings this week.

Thank you for your continued support,

Year 3 News

Dear parents and carers,

Swimming

Year 3 will be swimming on the first Tuesday of next term (the first day back!). Please ensure your child has their swimming kit. Thank you.

PE kits will also need bringing in/taking home at the start/ end of each week, especially as sports days are approaching.

Spellings

Due to timetabling issues, we did not get around to testing children on their half-termly spelling sets this week. Therefore, this will happen during the first week of the new term.

Lost cardigan

Please be on the lookout for a cardigan with Phoebe’s name in it. It is lost. If found, kindly return it to 3P.

We wish you all a restful half term break.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team

 

Urgent request – Year 3!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Children in Year 3 will be making collages of cityscapes, skylines, and buildings as part of their Art curriculum, this week.

Collage combines various pieces of paper, magazines, sometimes materials, card etc, to make a new picture of something else.

Therefore, please could children in Year 3 bring in some materials to make the collages? We do have materials and resources to use in school, but would be really great if they could bring in any old magazines, papers, etc that you have in the recycling bin!

Thank you for your continuing support.

The Year 3 team
