Homework:
Reading is a whole school priority. It is incredibly important that we work together to foster a love of reading for pleasure and make sure that our children are not just excellent decoders but understand what they are reading too.
Children in Y3 are expected to read at least four times a week and have their diaries signed by a parent. Tricky or new words can be noted in their reading diaries to enable the children to investigate their meaning. If your child does not find any new words in their text - the book is not challenging enough!
Homework dates:
Weekly homework will be set every FRIDAY. Details of their tasks will be explained in class and students will bring their Homework Folders home to complete the work independently. Homework is due in the following FRIDAY, it can be handed in anytime before then but please make sure that your child has a copy of their spelling words to practise at home!
If your child is absent, their homework will be available for them to collect when they return.
Spellings will come home in the homework books for revision and will be tested in class, written in their spelling books each Friday.
Times tables:
Times tables will be set and assessed weekly through timetable rockstars. https://ttrockstars.com/
Mental arithmetic homework will also be set each Friday being sent home in the homework books.
Tasks will be marked in class and any misconceptions addressed in the lesson.
