Homework

Every child should be reading for 10 minutes every day. Ideally to an adult, but we also encourage them to read to older siblings. We also love to hear that they are reading to younger siblings too. 

We also carry out weekly spellings and times tables tests. 

Homework 

In Year 3, the children are not given homework books and are not set worksheets to complete. Instead, we would like every child to spend time reading at home. Alongside reading, spellings will be set once week, which your child will be tested on. 

If you would like to do more at home with your child, the following would be beneficial to their learning: 

Times Tables - Spend 10 minutes a day practising the times tables up to x12.  

Time - Spend time teaching your child to tell the time on an analogue clock, 12-hour digital clock and the 24-hour digital clock. 

Money - Ensure your child can identify the different coins and notes and understands their value. Can add up money and work out what change is required. This can be done informaly in small doses while at the shops. 

Weight and Measure - To be able to understand grams, kilograms, millilitres and litres. This can be done in the kitchen baking cakes or making dinners with your child.  

Also please ensure your child is able to tie their own shoelaces, knows their home address and can spell their own last name, along with the parents, in case of an emergency.

If this is done consistently throughtout the year, your child will make fantastic progress.
