Reading and Spellings
We practice our reading daily in our Guided Reading sessions where we focus on a text and look at different skills in reading, using a range of different reading skills, including reading aloud. We also explore non-fiction texts so that we are applying these skills across different genres and learning.
We also read for pleasure and enjoy sharing stories as a class. This term we are reading The Iron Man.
Term 1
Spellings
There are 2 groups for spellings according to the individual children's levels in spellings. We follow Emile Spelling and over the week we complete different activities to practice the spelling pattern in school. We also expect the children to practice their spellings at home so they are building fluency and confidence in the spelling patterns they are learning. We do a spell check on a Friday to check the children's spellings.
Writing:
In all of our writing, in class, we are focusing on presentation, speed and accuracy so that we can be fluent and accurate writers.
Please see below for our writing targets which incorporate handwriting, spelling, punctuation and grammar!
Handwriting
Maths
In our daily maths lessons, we incorporate some recall (remembering) of previous skills and knowledge in our daily review challenge - we also include a challenge for those that finish quickly so that they are having to apply other learning or make links in their learning. In lessons we use the Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract approach to enable the children to use practical resources to show their learning as well as to try out new skills in practical ways - i,e using dienes/counters/place value cards/numbelines etc.
Please see below for our Y3 targets that we need to master by the end of the year. We also include opportunities to revisit previous years learning! These include suggestions and ways to support these at home if you are looking for ideas/support for your children's maths.
