Reading Books

 We expect children to be bringing their books and reading records into school every day. The children have now been shown how to change their own reading books, it is up to them to remember they have finished their book and to go and change it during the allotted time slots. 

Maths Homework

Maths homework will be sent home on a Friday and it is to be handed in no later than the following Friday. Please check the back of the children's book for their homework page. We change the page weekly depending on what we teach in school. If it is not written in due to absence it is on the classroom wall so ask the teacher for the correct page.

Spelling Shed and Times Table Rock Stars

Spellings are tested on a Wednesday and times tables on a Friday. The children will focus on a different spelling rule each week which they should be secure with by the end of Year 3. By the end of year 3 the children should also be competent with their 2s 3s 4s 5s 8s and 10s.

The children will have a weekly times tables test and will be tested on the following:

Autumn term 2 - 3 times tables and division facts

Spring term 1 - 4 times tables and division facts
