If they read at home 12 times and have their reading book signed each time, they will receive a certificate in assembly. They should read their reading book where possible, but should also read other suitable reading materials e.g. books they have at home. In Year 3 children are encouraged to access Times Tables Rock Stars to practise their times tables. https://ttrockstars.com/login Children are also expected to practise their spellings daily. Spelling Shed has a selection of games the children can play using their logins, which have their weekly spellings on. https://www.spellingshed.com/en-gb/index.html We have P.E on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please ensure your child has a full P.E kit in school. PE can be either indoor or outdoor. Your child will need a white t-shirt, black shorts and plimsolls or trainers for indoor and jogging bottoms and a jumper or sweatshirt for outdoor PE as well as suitable gym shoes. This half term we are doing athletics and dance.

Read to them and let them follow along. Listen to them read. Just a few minutes every day helps. They can read any appropriate text they wish, whether that is their school book, their own book, or a newspaper. Ask them questions! This helps them understand what they have read which is a very important skill. Spellings Your child will be given a spelling list each week. The weekly spellings can be practised on paper or the children can practise saying each letter out loud to you. Practising each day helps the most but every little bit counts! Check your child knows what each word means (This will be discussed on a Monday at school so don’t worry if they are unsure.) Challenge your child to write their spelling words in a sentence. Times Tables Encourage your child to log in to their Times Tables Rock Stars account if they are allowed internet access. Practise saying the times tables! Sing them, whisper them, shout them (perhaps not late at night!) – it all helps! Test them on a few calculations at a time e.g. in one week you might only focus on 1 x 3 = 3, 2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 3 = 9 Useful Websites Online lessons – https://www.thenational.academy/ Times table rock star – https://ttrockstars.com/ Maths resources – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/ Oxford Owl reading – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/ Spelling shed – https://www.spellingshed.com/en-gb See saw log in – https://web.seesaw.me/ Online Resources – https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/free-home-learning-packs/ © Copyright 2017 - West View Primary School, Hartlepool, TS24 9BP Translate » Cookies This site uses cookies: Find out more.
