Year 3
Welcome to Year 3 and to the Juniors. As Juniors, the children become more independent. With independence comes privileges and responsibilities. They are expected to demonstrate great listening, concentration and effort as well as excellent behaviour, setting a fantastic example to the children in the Infants.

Important Things to Know
P.E. Kit
Our P.E. lessons are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children need to come to school dressed in their P.E. kits, therefore they do not need to keep a P.E. kit in school. As a reminder, this is grey tracksuit bottoms (with their red shorts underneath if they wish), white P.E. t-shirt, grey jumper or school jumper with their trainers. Please avoid sending your child to school wearing earrings on P.E. days.
In the summer term, the Year 3 children will begin swimming sessions and will need to bring a swimsuit, towel and a cap for these sessions.
Homework
In line with the new Home Learning Policy, your child will receive a half termly Learning Passport.
In Year 3, children will receive age-appropriate homework tasks which will be set weekly on Atom. These homework tasks will be based on what your child has practised in class during the week and are designed simply to reinforce and consolidate what they have learnt. Please try to encourage the children to do the task themselves, as the programme is intuitive, so will set learning based on what they can achieve on their own.
In addition to the Learning Passport, the children are expected to complete a minimum of four signed reads per week in their reading diary and to practise their times tables up to 12 x 12.
Reading
Reading books and diaries should be in school every day.
They will be checked each Thursday
The School uses a wide variety of reading schemes that directly link with the National Bookband Scheme.
We expect to see four signed reads per week.
Snacks
Please **** NO NUTS ****
Children are allowed to bring in a piece of fresh fruit or vegetables to eat at break time and are encouraged to have a bottle of water in the classroom to keep hydrated.
Parents
