Dear Parents,

Apologies for the late posting of this email, and that it is lengthy!

Attached below are the spellings and homework for Year 3 this week.

Year 3 Spellings and homework to be tested 20.9.19

Last Friday, children should have brought home their spellings to learn, for testing towards the end of this coming week. Generally, 3B are tested on a Thursday – Mr Butler’s last day of the week , whereas 3W and 3P generally test on Fridays.

Children have been told which spelling group they are in. Please support your child to learn their spellings through verbally testing them, and written exercises. This can be recorded in their Homework books (orange-coloured A4 books). Occasionally, children will receive similar spellings, as these are part of a nationally standardised list, which all Year 3 children are expected to know.

Children will also be expected to learn selected times tables each week too, again to be tested on a Friday morning. This week, we are revising tables already known – 2x, 5x, and 10x tables. Your child may also need your support with this.

Children will usually receive an additional piece of homework each week for selected subjects, usually, English, Maths or Science. Our Science topic this term is Electricity. Please help your child to design an electrical safety poster showing how to keep safe around electricity and electrical items / sockets. You can do this either on A4 paper or using a computer and own printer. This needs to be handed in by Friday 20th September. Please contact us if you require further information.

Thank you for your support,

The Year 3 team.

Dear Parents,

Year 3 Spellings to be tested 5.7.19

Apologies for the late posting of this.

Please help your child to read at least every day, recording at least 3 entries per week in their reading diaries. Please support your child to learn their spellings, putting each word into a sentence, in context. Children have a TTRS challenge this week, against the other Year 3 classes. Please support them with this, by allowing access to TTRS at home.

Thank you.

Dear Parents,

Year 3 spellings to be tested 28.6.19

Please help your child to maintain their reading, at least 3x recorded in diaries, and ideally reading every day with an adult. TTRS paper tests this week will be on the 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x and 12x tables this week. Homework is to try to use your spelling words in an interesting sentence, using neatest handwriting and accurate punctuation. House will be awarded for effort.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents,

Children need to learn spellings and 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x tables. This will be the focus for Times Tables Rockstars. Some children are still not accessing the TTRS website regularly to practice. Please ensure that you allow 5-10mins per day, as we are seeing big gains with children who DO practice. Try to read at least three times at home this week and fill in your reading diary. Homework is to complete the worksheet on telling the time. Please support your child with this.

Dear Parents,

Year 3 homework to be completed by 17.5.19

Year 3 Spellings to be tested 17.5.19

Homework this week is to learn the next ten words from the Year 3 National spelling list. Continue to read at home and please fill in your reading diary.

We have now completed most of the times tables, so next week’s TTRS tests will be on the 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10x tables. PLEASE encourage your child to practice on TTRS – we have some children in year 3 who have not engaged with the program since March!! This will obviously not help them to progress. Other children have had remarkable success, with repeated drill and practice – please help your children to learn this important life skill.

Homework this week is to complete the “Where / wear / we’re” sheet, which should be in your child’s homework book.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents,

Please find attached the Year 3 spellings, to be tested on 10.5.19. Children need to continue to use Times Tables Rock Stars, and develop accuracy and frequency of play.

Also, please encourage your child to complete their homework about Birmingham city, which was issued before the Easter holidays (see below) for 10.5.19 or earlier.

“Children will need to make a poster about Birmingham City, and this forms their homework for the next four weeks. Try to include details like basic facts (population, size, etc.), buildings and landmarks, points of interest, reasons to go there, weather and climate, activities to do etc. You can add drawn (preferably) and coloured pictures or printed pictures to your poster. Please try to make it at least A4 in paper size and of presentation standard quality, for display on the wall.  This will support our topic work on Towns and Cities for next term.  The homework is due in on, or before Friday 10^th May.”
