Year 3 Homework

Dear Parents and Carers,

As per previous messages, Year 3 children should, by now, have handed in their homework books. Please ensure that children have done so by tomorrow, to ensure they receive house points for work completed. Homework handed in after this date will receive marks, but no house points.

Thank you for your support,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 PE next half term

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a reminder that for the next half term, Year 3 will NOT be swimming, as per rotation of year groups, but will be doing 2 x PE lessons each week instead.

Therefore, please ensure your child brings their PE kit on a Monday to leave in school all week. This allows for maximum flexibility with regards to PE lesson times, which can sometimes change at short notice due to timetabling issues. PE kit can then be taken home again at the end of Friday, for washing.

PE kit should include long jogging bottoms and a sweater for occasions where PE takes place outside, as well as shorts, house-coloured t-shirt and trainers.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Year 3 Pet Day reply slips needed

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please could we remind all parents that for your child to to be fully involved on Pet Day, we need to gain your consent for your children to be around pets, especially dogs and cats, with regard to allergies etc.

Therefore, please return your completed reply slip ASAP to your class teacher, noting any allergies, if you have not already done so.

If permission slips are not received, your child will take part in other activities instead.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

 

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.

Reading-Diary-Comments pdf

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.
