SWIMMING

 In the Summer term we have PE on Wednesday and swimming on Fridays.

Home Learning:

In Year 3 'Home Learning' means regular reading, practising spellings and times tables each week.

Reading: We recommend your child reads to you a minimum of 3 times per week, as well as reading to themselves. Please make a note of what has been read at home in your child's reading journal.

Spelling: This could be practised as often as you want and can be learned as individual words as well as children trying to write them in a sentence. 

Times Tables: We also recommend practising times tables at home once a week and each child has a membership with 'Times Tables Rockstars' to help them do this ( weblink at the bottom of this page).

There will also be a more creative half term project. This can be worked on at home over a few weeks.

We have attached the statutory words for year 3 and 4 which you can have a look at with your child if you wish.

We will look at these over the year along with the words from the 'No Nonsense Spelling' scheme.
