Reading
Reading on a regular basis is vital when children are in Year 3. Children will bring their reading books home every evening and the role of the adult is to listen and support them. Please remind them to use their decoding strategies when they come across an unfamiliar word – this could be sounding it out, using the pictures to help or finding words within words. Please make sure that the reading is recorded in the ‘Boom Reader’ (previously GoRead) app each time your child reads. We are setting your children a challenge of reading at least three times per week. This will be recorded and if achieved, your child will earn dojos to help them earn bigger rewards. Your child’s reading on the app will be checked on a weekly basis. Reading books will be changed as required, as we encourage children to re-read books to become familiar and focus on different skills each time they read. We will be encouraging children to become more independent by asking them to navigate the school library.
Maths or English task
A piece of Maths or English homework will be sent on a weekly basis. Work will be set which reinforces the learning that has taken place in the classroom that week and that will develop basic skills. This will be sent out on a Monday.
