Autumn 1 Spellings
Welcome To Our Year Three Class Page - Miss Connor
Welcome to Autumn 1
Welcome to Year 3.
We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely summer break.
This is a busy first half term which includes lots of exciting learning opportunities.
We will do our best as staff to capture the children's amazing learning and achievements and share these with you via the school Twitter pages as well as updating you on key curriculum and timetable changes here on this class page.
The value for this half term is "resilience" and we will be encouraging the children to think about ways to show resilience this half term, particularly with all the changes the children will face. As part of this value, we will also remind children on the importance of communicating if they are struggling and who their "trusted adults" are.
Please note, children will need to PE kit on Tuesdays and Thursday. PE on Tuesday will now be outdoor, children can wear navy, plain tracksuit bottoms and tops over their St John's blue t-shirt. PE on Thursday will be dance, children can wear their St John's blue t-shirt and blue shorts.

Homework
Your child will come home each Friday with a colour-banded reading book. These books can only be changed each Friday, however they can be kept longer than a week if necessary.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO BRING THEIR READING BOOK TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY.
In addition, you child will be set weekly spellings which will be assessed in a non-formal way at the end of each week. The idea being that we expect to see correct spellings in children's work, rather than in an independent spelling test.
Times Tables:
The children now have logins for TT Rockstars which is very popular platform for practising times tables. The logins were stuck into the front of the purple books last half term, please let us know if you need these sending home again.
www.ttrockstars.com
This website has great activities to help your child learn, practise and enjoy times table facts in a fun and engaging way.
This year, your child will be given a log in for Atom Prime which is an online platform for English homework. Once logged on, your child will find an English task to have a go at. We encourage the children to have a go independently as the program not only adapts to their answers (to make sure it's at the right level) but also provides feedback as to where they went wrong. As soon as the login details have been set up, we will be in touch with further information on this aspect of homework.
Your child will be given a log in for My Maths which is an online platform for Maths homework.
