Year 3
With Miss McKee & Mr Connolly
Hello Year 3s!
Welcome to our class page.
Welcome back Year 3s! We hope you have had a lovely half term holiday and are full of energy for this half term.
In our English work we will be reading a wishing tale called The King Of The Fishes and learning to recite it aloud. We will read several other wishing tales. Then we will look at the features and write one of our own. We will also continue to work on grammar and punctuation. World Book Day is on the &th March. All children get a £1 voucher to put towards the price of a book in Tesco or Waterstones in town. There will be a set of £1 books to choose from in those shops so look after your voucher and spend it next weekend!! If you want to come in a costume on the day please do. If not, you can come in uniform or non uniform.
In Maths we are continuing to develop our place value skills and then move on to multiplication and division calculations. We will also be practising our 2s, 3s,4s, 5s and 10 times tables and continuing to learn our 8s. We will be trying hard to speed up our mental maths work.
Our Science work is all about Light and Dark and there are lots of fun investigations in this topic.
In Geography, we will be finding out about our Extreme Earth. We will discover what causes eathquakes and volcanoes.
Our PE day is now THURSDAY. Please remember to come to school in your PE kit. Our PE uniform is white t-shirt, black jogging bottoms/leggings, socks, trainers and your school jumper.
Please bring a coat and a jumper to school everyday. On cold days please remember a hat and gloves too.
If you wear glasses please bring them to school every day.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle back in to school. You can keep this in class and we will refill it every day. We often need a refreshing drink of water after a busy playtime. We'll send them home at the end of each half term.
Please read your home reader EVERY NIGHT and ask an adult to write down the pages you have read.
Bring your books into school on a Tuesday and Friday to be changed.
You must bring your book EVERY Friday if you are reading a phonics books.
Remember to keep working hard and always try your best.
Take care and stay safe.

Weekly Spellings
Here are the spelling lists .
There are 3 levels of spellings and your child will know which set of words they are learning. (Underneath the weekly spellings are the long lists for each year group so that you can practise any other individual words that your child has difficulty with.)
Please help your child to learn their spellings during the week.
They could try LOOK -SAY -COVER- WRITE- CHECK.
LOOK at the word. SAY it. COVER it. WRITE it from memory. Then CHECK to see if they were right.
Spelling homework will be tested every Friday. Please help them to practise. Thank you.

Keep practising your reading every day to improve your skills.
Choose a book on MyOn on the link at the bottom of the page. Read it. Once you feel confident on it, find the quiz for that book on MyOn and answer the questions about it. Remember, you can only do the quiz for each book once, so if you don't feel confident, re-read the book before you complete the quiz.
Keep checking your own progress and how many minutes you have read for. Try to beat your score each week!
