Year 3 Information
Croeso i Blwyddyn 3!
Welcome to all parents, families and friends to our PDCS Year 3 page. We hope the page will have all the information you need including behaviour, homework and the Four Purposes of the curriculum.
We are dedicated to deliver authentic, relevant and real-life topics to create well-rounded pupils who can make a difference in their community.
You can keep up to date with all things Year 3 in PDCS on our X feed - https://x.com/PDCSYear3
P.E happens on Wednesday mornings, please send your children in appropriate clothing and shoes so they are able to participate. Children will also complete their '1k Run' each day.
Attendance is incredibly important and children should attend school each day. The class with the highest attendance in the school is announced in Friday assemblies and results in a special prize - including extra golden time or a trip to soft play.
If you wish to speak to a class teacher please pop and see us on the door in the mornings or at hometime. You can also contact us through phoning/emailing main reception or leaving a MyEd message for us.
Our Four Purpose Characters
The Curriculum for Wales has four main purposes that we want the children to achieve by the end of their time in school. In PDCS, we asked the children to design a character for each purpose and these were our winning designs - along with the attributes that belong to them. These underpin EVERY piece of learning.

In Year 3 we use house points as a rewards system. Children can receive positive house points for actions such as persistence, good effort, good work, representing the school, showing kindness and much more. Alternatively, if a child demonstrates negative behaviour such as hurting others, not following instructions, being disrespectful, damaging school property; they will receive a negative house point.
Parents can have alerts to their phones about their children's house points via the app - please contact main reception if you need help setting this up.

Every Thursday we will send home a homework task to complete at home in your child's research book. These could be a one week task including flipped learning, 110 Club practice or a reading challenge. Alternatively it could be a two week Four Purpose challenge. You can complete these tasks on your child's Hwb (J2e) or in your child's research book.

Reading at home
Reading at home
Reading daily is one of the most vital tasks for you to do to help your child learn. Your child has a reading folder for their reading book and record which we check daily. Every time your child reads at home they earn a stamp in the back of their reading record, once they have reached their reading goal they will earn a prize. Please remember to send your child's reading folder in everyday.

RECIPROCAL READING
Once your child is reading with fluency and independent decoding unfamiliar, complex words - it is essential that they have a good understanding of what they have read. They need to be able to question, clarify, predict and summarise.
Watch this short video about these skills.

In PDCS, we use RADIO PDCS as a toolkit to solve worded Maths and Numeracy problems that link to our work across the curriculum.
The hope is that children will become independent in identifying what questions ask, what operation is necessary, what steps are needed to be taken and what strategies can be utilised to solve problems.
RADIO PDCS will be a helpful tool for children to solve problems that may come home as homework, whilst also preparing them for the Welsh National Assessments.
