REMINDERS:
PE kits: Both Year 3 classes will have their PE lessons on a Wednesday afternoon with Mr Mikelson. The children are required to wear their school uniform in the morning and will need to change in the school changing rooms during lunch time.
Water bottles: Please make sure your child has a water bottle in school every day.
News and events: Ms Ager, the schools HLTA, will be teaching Turner class on Fridays.
HOME LEARNING
Maths: Opportunities to practise our maths skills can be found everywhere, shops, car number plates, the park - all over. What maths can you make when you are with your child? The children also have access to TimesTable Rockstars which they can easily play at home.
English: Children will be sent home new spellings each Friday; they will need to practise these at home. They will then be assessed on the following Friday. Please mix up the order of spellings to check the children are spelling the words correctly.
Reading: We expect children to be reading at home at least 3 times a week. Once the children have done their daily reading, they should record an answer to one of the questions, found on the reverse of their bookmark, in their reading record book. This is to help increase their comprehension skills.
