Year 3

Dear Parent/Carers,

In order to continue supporting you and your children throughout this period, we will be sending home learning based activities that can be easily accessed and completed from home. We have provided each child with a home learning pack that contains some basic resources that pinpoint key objectives from the Year 3 curriculum. We have enclosed a copy a times tables grid to practise the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10s. Alongside this, we have provided a copy of the Year 1 to 4 common exception words for your child to continue learning. We will ensure that we update the website weekly with tasks for your children to complete throughout this time.

This week’s learning activities are as follows:

English

We are sending home a copy of the story ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ along with a comprehension activity that will aid your child’s use of literal, inference and evaluative information. Please read the text with your child and then complete the activity within the pack.

Within your child’s reading record, you will have received your child’s personal Bug Club login. Your child will be able to access a variety of books on this website. Allocations will be reviewed regularly by your child’s teacher.

Maths

Within this pack, you will have received your child’s personal MyMaths login. Your child will be able to access maths activities set by their class teacher through the homework section of the MyMaths website. These will be updated weekly to ensure that your child is able to continue developing their maths skills.

Science

Our current topic focus in science is ‘Rocks and Soils’. We have started to look at the three main types of Rocks, how they are formed and their properties. We would like you to create a fact file or a poster to demonstrate your knowledge on rock so far.
