Homework:

Reading:

To help improve your child’s reading skills we ask them to read with an adult at home for 10/15 minutes each day. Please support your child by listening to them read, asking questions about the text and helping children use their phonic skills to decode any unfamiliar words. Please record on our reading online journey (every time you hear them read) your child’s progress with this, noting down the pages read, your child’s successes or areas of difficulty. Your child’s book will be changed once you have noted in the comment box that they are ready for a new book. Please note in the early stages of reading it is important, where needed, to re-read pages/book to help build your child’s fluency, comprehension and confidence.

Maths:

Homework will be set on a Wednesday and is due back on the following Tuesday. This will be set on Mathletics. Please continue to focus on having instant recall of addition and subtraction facts within 10 and 20 (yr2) and 100 (yr3). In addition to this Year 3 children will be working on multiplication and division facts for the 2 times table, then the 5, 10 and 3 times tables. We also ask you regularly practise addition/ subtraction facts and multiplication/ division facts using -The White Rose 1 minute maths App.

Phonics/ Spellings:

Spelling homework will be handed out on a Tuesday and is due in on a fortnightly basis but it is always on a Monday.

The children are expected to work between 5- 10 minutes every day on their Phonics/ spellings throughout the fortnight.
