Welcome to Year 3!

Hello Year 3,

Welcome to the juniors! I am excited to teach you this school year and know that you will enjoy all of the fun and interesting topics that we will be learning about!

Here are a few notices and reminders: 

• PE - PE will be on a Thursday afternoon this half term - please come into school wearing your PE kits on this day.
• Homework - You will receive x1 maths and x1 English homework on a Tuesday and this will be due the following Monday. You can hand your homework in at any time during the week once it is completed - there is a basket in the classroom for completed homework.
• Spellings - A spelling booklet will be sent home at the beginning of each half term. Each week, we will have a spelling lesson to introduce the spelling rule for that week. We will then have our class spelling test every Tuesday morning.
• Times Tables - We will practice our times tables daily in school. By the end of Year 3, you should be able to recall the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x and 10x tables in any order, as well as the related division facts.  
• Reading - Please record your daily reading in your home-school diary. These will be checked each Friday morning and table points will be given accordingly.

I have attached our class curriculum map above which outlines our learning over the next academic year. I am excited to get to know you all and hear about your summer! 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask 

Miss Palmer
