General Information for Class 3 Parents
Homework
Your child will have one piece of homework set every week on a Thursday based upon class work. Details of this will be written in the homework diary and should be completed by the following Tuesday. This is alongside regular spelling and times tables practice.
Spellings
Children will receive a list of spellings to learn ready for their next tracks session every Monday. Each child follows an individual spellings programme and part of the wordlist is formed from children’s individual work.
Reading
Children all have a ‘home reading book’ to enable them to practice reading skills, and develop fluency and expression. These books are monitored by staff every week for suitability. We expect children to read 5 times at home during the week. Please sign the reading record book and say how the session went and alert us to any difficulties experienced.
Times tables
From time to time, children will be given times tables to practice. These need to be learned as (for example)
- 5 x 2 = 10
- 2 x 5 = 10
- How many 2s make 10 (10 ÷ 2 = 5)
- How many 5s make 10 (10 ÷ 5 = 2)
This year we are mainly working on our 3, 4 and 8 times table.
Signing the homework diary
Please sign the homework diary on a daily basis and note what homework (reading/spellings/set homework/times tables) has been undertaken by your child. Please sign the bottom right hand page each week. We award a Dojo point for completed diary pages and homework.
PE and Forest School
This term PE will be on a Monday, please insure your PE kit is in school. Swimming will be every Wednesday.
