Welcome to Year 3a

Welcome to Year 3A and the beginning of our Key Stage 2 learning journey.

Teaching Team: Mrs Iles / Miss Atherton
Phase Leader: Mrs Buck
SENDCO: Mr Adams

Headteacher: Mrs. Shorrock / Deputy Headteacher: Mr. Adams

Our day starts at 8.45am and ends at 3.30pm. In that time, we are learning lots of exciting new things. Feel free to take a look at our curriculum map for this half-term to find out more about what we are learning.

Key Dates / Reminders

P.E: Mondays (indoor) and Wednesdays (outdoor)
Reading: We ask that children are heard read at home at least 3 times per week and their reading planner is signed by an adult.  When a child reads three times a week and their planner has been signed they get to move up within the reading championship!  When your child has read their book, they can swap it for a new one.

Class Rewards

Dojo Points: ClassDojo points are awarded to pupils who display our core values of 'pride, respect, resilience, kindness and ambition'.
Rewards Menu: Once a child has achieved 100 Dojo points they are free to exchange these for a treat of our 'rewards menu', on display in every classroom!

Star of the Week: One child each week is selected for a special award for demonstrating one of our school values, issued in our Friday celebration assembly.

If you would like to contact me, feel free to do so through Class Dojo.

Spelling: Children will bring home their spelling list each Monday.  They will practise spellings which follow the same rule throughout the week and be tested on a Friday.  The aim is for the children to learn the rule so they will be tested on the words sent home plus two more words following the same rule.

Reading: Children have a reading book which they should bring home each night.  When children have read at home, they should show their reading record log the next day.  If children read 3 times per week, they will move up one point on the Reading Championship each Friday.  Children can also take home a book from the library.

Mathematics:
 

Times Tables: Children should also practise their times tables on Times Tables Rock Star.  Children should already know their 2s, 5s and 10 times tables from year 2 and by the end of year 3 should have learnt their 3s, 4s and 8s.
