Welcome to Year 3! 

We hope you had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to learning exciting new things this year!  

Our first topic this term is based on the story Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl. We will be studying the story and doing some narrative writing. Alongside the story we will be looking at nutrition, where food comes from and doing some cooking too!

Homework

It is important that your child reads at home every night. We will send home a levelled reading book once a week and they will also have access to Bug Club - www.activelearnprimary.co.uk. Also encourage your child to read books of their choice at home. 

Children will receive a spelling book which should be completed at home. We will teach a lesson on the Monday based on the spelling rule and they will have a spelling test on a Friday. 

We will also send home times tables for you to practise with your child. 

Snack

This year the children bring their own money for snack. They can choose toast, pancakes, fruit or snack bars. We advise that your child brings their money in a purse or wallet to avoid them losing it.
