New PE day is a Tuesday. Children are required to come into school wearing their PE kit. It is really important that the children bring in pumps to wear for gymnastics in the hall and for using apparatus safely.
Music: Glockenspiels
MFL (Spanish): Musical Instruments
Spellings:
The children will continue to be given spellings every Monday to practise and they will be tested on a Friday.
Times tables:
We encourage children to practise times tables and use TTRS (Times Table Rockstars). The focus will be on 3, 4, 6 & 8 times tables in Yr3. We encourage the children to go on to ‘studio’ as this earns them the most points. We would love for all of our children to get their names onto the rockstar display board!!
Homework:
The children will continue to be set work on Mirodo. There will be a Maths task and English task set every week. We will be able to monitor their progress online when they submit their work.
Reading Books:
We encourage you to please read at home as much as possible with your child. Their books will be changed as and when returned but we do recommend they change their books weekly unless their book is a longer text.
Thank you for your continued support!!
