Year 3
Curriculum Newsletter
Obama Class
Welcome!
Welcome back to Year 3! We are all looking forward to another exciting term partnering with you and your child in their learning and development. Within this curriculum newsletter there is some key information to help you support your child’s learning.
Nut Free School
Please can we remind you that we are a Nut Free School, so please do not pack products in the lunchboxes that may contain nuts; this includes chocolate spread.
PE
Swimming lesson continues to be on a Thursday. Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school every day in case these days change. Please could you ensure all PE kit is clearly named.
-
Indoor PE: Children will need black shorts and a plain t-shirt in their house colour. Gym and Dance is done in bare feet. Children will need trainers or plimsolls for indoor games.
-
Outdoor PE: black shorts and t-shirt, and a tracksuit or spare jumper for colder days. Children will also need trainers.
Please remember that children should not wear jewellery on P.E and swimming days.
Homework
Children will have one homework book which will be used for all homework. They will have weekly spellings and maths homework. The maths homework will be set using the website Timetables Rock Stars. If you have any queries about the homework please do not hesitate to come and speak to us.
Times Table Rock Stars
Cherry Fields Primary School is signed up to the Times Tables Rock Stars programme to support your child with their number facts. At home, children are expected to play on Times Table Rock Stars for 5 minutes at least four times a week. To support your child, please do consider whether they may need number facts written out for them to refer to - this is not deemed as 'cheating' but instead provides the opportunity for number facts to become embedded through repetition of reading/speaking/typing these related numbers. If you are unsure of what this might look like, please ask your child's class teacher.
Wider Curriculum Project Homework Menus
Children will have a termly topic menu with additional homework options based on our wider curriculum. We would love it if all children could bring in at least one piece of homework from this grid to share with the class.
Reading
All children have a reading diary, which they should bring to school in their book bag every day. Please record your child’s reading (as well as any additional comments) in the reading diary including the date and, where appropriate, page numbers. Halfway through the diary is a guide to help adults to support children’s reading as well as phonics/spelling guides for children as they progress through the school. We will check the reading record is completed regularly.
Curriculum
Thank you for your help and support. We are looking forward to teaching your children this term and partnering with you in supporting their learning.
