Dear Year 3,

Keep reading throughout the half term!

The Year 3 team found some free resources online and we are not ones to miss a freebie. We have printed off resources to support your child’s learning. These booklets include Year 3 concepts as well as some concepts that will be revision from previous years. These booklets are yours to keep and for the children to complete from now till the end of Year 3. Answers have been included for you to mark your own work with your parents.

We hope you find them useful. If you have any questions, please email your child’s class teacher on homework_y3@ryvers.slough.sch.uk.

Have a wonderful half-term break!

Regards,

Year 3 Team

YEAR 3 KNOWLEDGE ORGANISERS

Some useful web links and resources for you to use.

Some information for the term ahead:

• Reading books will be handed out on Wednesday, to be returned on Monday. Pupils must read daily for at least 15 minutes. This is essential for developing reading, spelling and grammatical skills.
• Year 3 PE Day is Thursday. All pupils MUST wear their PE to school on that day.
• Homework will be set on a Wednesday to be returned on Monday. Pupils will regularly get set short challenges to complete throughout the week.
• Spelling this term will be consolidating KS1 vocabulary and building subject vocabulary through the use of the knowledge organisers.
• Times Table Rockstars and My Maths continues. Use 2-3 times a week. The focus this half term is recognising and writing numbers to 1000, compare numbers and solve problems using hundred, tens and units.
• Use the Knowledge Organisers to support your child’s learning.
• All pupils must bring a coat and a water bottle to school EVERY day. A healthy snack such as fruit is suggested for break times.
• Messages for the teacher should be noted in the pupil’s Home Learning Log and bought to the teacher’s attention once in class.
