Y3
In Year 3 we are developing our independence and using our growth mindset to achieve excellent learning. We have lots of exciting topics this year, The Roman Empire and a study of the United Kingdom, exploring maps, Volcanoes and Earthquakes and learning about The Stone Age. We teach Literacy through a variety of texts that will enrich the children's learning and we use a range of concrete resources to teach mathematical concepts.

In year 3 we love to read, so every Monday reading books will be changed and children will also have the opportunity to take out a school library book.
Homework will be given out on a Wednesday and they will have until the Monday after for this to be completed.
Times Tables Practice
During Year 3, we practice our times tables weekly to prepare for the Multiplication Check in Year 4. Each week we focus on one of the times tables up to 12x12 and on Fridays we have a test in school to assess how the children are doing with learning them.
Please support your child to practice their times tables regularly at home, aiming for at least 3x a week.
You can use these websites to support you.
Find below some links for different reading websites to help engage children! Learning to read fluently is vital for every child, and it only takes 15 minutes of practice a day to make a real difference.
