Home Learning

Home Learning

Here you will be able to download the learning that is sent home for home learning each week.

Home learning will be sent out every Friday and then will be due in by the following Wednesday.

Please ensure that you continue to read regularly with your child and encourage them to practice their times tables. By the end of Year 3, your child should know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.

Times Table Rockstars is a fantastic way to practise and log-in details can be found on the inside of your child’s home learning book.

Please contact a member of the Year 3 team if you have any questions or need further support with any Home Learning that is sent home.

How Reading is rewarded at St Mary’s

  • Reading logs are checked regularly by our class teachers to ensure children are reading at home to an adult.
  • Each time a child reads at home, whether that be 5 minutes or half an hour, we ask that a signature is added to your child’s reading log.

Reading awards:

  • 5 signatures = 1 merit
  • 30 signatures = A reading bookmark
  • 60 signatures = A reading pencil
  • 90 signatures = A book from Mrs Gleed-Thornley’s shop

 

Your support with reading at home is essential and only by working together can we ensure your child achieves their full potential as a reader.

Spellings

Spellings are given out every Tuesday. Please use the look, cover, write, check method to practice.

If your child is on RWI, they will get sound sheets with spellings on 3 times a week.
