Year 3 Spellings this week and next week, Homework and TTRS

Dear Parents and Carers,

Week 3 Spellings Year 3

Week 4 Spellings Year 3

Homework for Autumn 2nd half 2023

Apologies for the late posting of this week’s spellings – we have had several technical issues with the school website and loading up files. Hopefully these are now resolved.

Also attached is a reminder copy of the Year 3 homework for this half term.

Finally, children are currently engaged in a national competition on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS). With this in mind, we would really appreciate it if you could allow your children to play on TTRS as often as possible over the next 24 hrs. The maximum time they can count towards the competition is 1 hr of playtime.

Once this competition has finished, we would recommend that children continue to  spend at least 10 minutes per day practicing their times tables on TTRS.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

England Rocks 🎸


Dear parent/carer,

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online on TTRS.

Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below)). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

In the spirit of the competition, please don’t play on their behalf but by all means encourage and support them to the extent that it doesn’t cause high stress levels or impact on family plans.

It was wonderful to see so many parents/grandparents yesterday. Despite the tight squeeze, the children and I had lots of fun and really enjoyed your company.

Class 3B Fiction Express letter and Homework for this half term.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Class 3B children today received their logon information for Fiction Express, a reading website with hundreds of books available to read. You should also be in receipt of a letter explaining this.

Also, 3B were given their homework letter for this half term, which should be in their bags. This will be posted to the website shortly.
Kind regards,

Mr Butler

Class 3B PE tomorrow

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please ensure your child has an OUTDOOR P.E. kit tomorrow, as the hall will be out of use. This means joggers, sweater, t-shirt and trainers.

Thank you for your continued support,
