Welcome to Year 3!

Summer Term:

During the Summer term, we will be exploring our local area and will be looking into the history of South Woodham Ferrers. In English, we will be using the text 'Esio Trot' by Roald Dahl to inspire different genres of writing, including a narrative and non-chronological report. Maths will be filled with learning all about money, shapes and statistics. Pointillism and Impressionism will be our focus in Art and Science will begin with Light before we move onto Scientific Enquiry. For further information on the curriculum this term, please see the topic web. 

Homework and Reading 

Homework is set each week on Maths shed and Spelling shed. They also have access to Times Table Rockstars to practice their times tables. All children have log in details for these in the front of their reading journals. These homework tasks are online and mark automatically, but teachers regularly check this data and monitor it. Homework is set on a Friday and due in the following Thursday. 

PE 

Outdoor PE is on a Monday and indoor PE is on Tuesday. Please send your child to school in their PE kit. Children must not wear earrings.

If you have have any questions please send me a message on Class Dojo.

Times Table Rockstars

GARAGE – times tables set by the teacher

JAMMING – choose your own times tables to practice. You are able to select multiplication, division or a mixture of both. You can also choose the number of questions to answer. 

STUDIO – general practise to improve your ‘Rock Status’. It will also give you your average speed.

SOUNDCHECK – this activity will give the children 6 seconds to answer a random set of 25 questions. This is the speed they will need once they get to Year 4 so they may not be ready for this speed just yet.
