3 TOP TIPS

If you want your child to make excellent progress this year I

recommend:

Daily reading at home

Frequent times tables practice

Daily spelling practice

Library books can be changed during lunchtimes.

•Daily independent reading.•Guided reading twice per week.•Reading activities on remaining days.

Reading

Reading in

school

Library books

•Please read a minimum of 5 times per week.

•Reading logs should be signed by an adult.

•Children who read 5 times per week will be rewarded.

•Children who do not read regularly at home will be asked to

stay in to read during play times.

Reading at home

By the end of Year 3 the children

should know their times tables up to

12 x 12.

•Bronze: times tables in order.•Silver: times tables out of order.•Gold: corresponding division facts.

Times tables

Times tables challenge

•Booklet to take home.•My Maths•Times tables songs•Times tables apps/online games.

Practising at home

Spelling test and new spellings given

out every Monday.

Spellings

New format: handwriting sheets.

Reasoning: 1.To practise both handwriting and spelling.2.The continuous flow of cursive writing improves spelling; the children develop a ‘physical memory’ of a word.

Please return the completed sheets

every Monday.

Homework

One piece of Homework will be set every Friday, to be completed and handed in by the following Wednesday.

If a child does not return their homework, they will be asked to stay in to complete the task during their playtime.

Usually tasks will alternate between a English based task and a Maths based task (on My Maths).

My Maths Usernames and passwords should be the same as last year. A reminder of these will be sent home this week.
