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.
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.
Homework:
The children will get homework on a Monday to be returned on a Friday.
