Movement Break
Every day, we take part in a movement break which includes activities such as: skipping, ball skills, outdoor gym, trim trail and the daily mile.
Reading
Reading is tremendously important to learning in school and is a fantastic life skill. In school, we use the Accelerated Reader scheme.
All children will be listened to, by an adult at least once every week. When the children have read their book 3 times (unless it is a chapter book) they should let the teacher know so that they can take a test. When they score 80% or more on a test, 3 times, they can move up a level.
Children are expected to read at home every day. They should have their reading record signed by the adult they read to and the page they are up to. It is extremely important children bring their reading books in every day.
Children also have access to our class and school libraries to enjoy a variety of texts.
Homework
Year 3 homework consists of reading, spellings and times tables. I may leave other tasks to complete throughout the year on Google Classroom.
Children should read every day at home for 10/15 minutes. Reading books are to be brought back into school daily.
Spellings are learnt in school over the week and are available on Spelling Shed for pupils to learn at home. They should play at least 10 games, 3 times a week.
TTRockstars has been set for your child to work on at home for 5/10 minutes at least 3 times a week.
Codes for TTRS and Spelling Shed can be found on the back cover of your child’s reading diary.
