Year 3 information
Reading books
Our reading expectations are that the children should be reading at least 4 times a week and have their reading records signed. This is to help the children build up their reading stability, build up their confidence of segmenting and blending new sounds and also to develop a love of reading. Children have their reading records checked every day in school so that we can closely monitor home reading and will get 5 dojos for meeting their reading target; we fully understand that there are things that can come up during the week that can’t be helped. Please let the class teacher know if you are having any issues.

Time tables
We regularly test out timetables during the week. We offer the children the chance to get stickers to add to their 'timetable reward chart'.
We also have access to TT Rockstars! Children should be engaging with this website weekly.
This half term, we are focusing on our 8 time tables, with division facts. We will spend time during the morning practicing, however practice at home is also important.
