Parents evening and updates!

Thank you all for attending parent consultations over the past few weeks - it has been a real pleasure meeting you all and discussing your child's progress for the forthcoming year.  We hope you found the time useful.

As promised, we will do our best to keep you up-to-date with what is happening over the year and what we are covering within the different subjects.  Please keep checking the blog as new posts will appear regularly covering dates and subject content. 

It would also be of great use if you could encourge your children to log onto the blog regularly as we will also post links to useful websites to help your children in the various subjects and topics we are covering.

Welcome to Year 3 2013/2014!

Welcome to Year 3 Blog!  Sorry it has taken so long to get started, we have had a few technical problems!!

Just a few reminders so far.....

Spellings and Reading
Keep practising your spellings every night and read your reading books!  Progress is checked daily in school. 
Spelling tests are on Mondays and new spellings are also given for the week.

Times tables
Keep practising your times tables - x2, x5, x10, x3, x4 at the moment!  How many different ways can you practise them?


Homework
Literacy homework is set on a Thursday and Maths homework is set on a Friday.  All homework is to be completed and sent in for the following Tuesday.

As always, all of the Year 3 Team will gladly answer any of your queries - please try to keep them for the afternoon pick up of your child, as mornings can be pretty hectic!

Here's to a great year everyone!
