Unicef Rights and Responsibility: Article 30

Every child has the right to learn and to use the language, customs and religion of their family, regardless of whether these are shared by the majority of the people in the country where they live.

Our Class

Our doors open at 8.45am each morning. The children will enter the building through the Y3/Y4 doors. It is important that children are on time each day as we start handwriting at this time.

Reading diaries should be signed and dated each night and will be checked each day. Please spend time discussing the book that your child brings home with them. It is recommended that your child reads for at least 20 minutes at least 4 times per week.

We also encourage the children to read a range of other texts in addition to their home-school reading book. We would be grateful if you could comment on other books that your child reads at home.

The school day ends at 3.15pm.

Physical Education

You will need: black shorts, a red T shirt, black pumps (indoor), trainers. (outdoor) [optional]

PE will be on a Monday (outdoor) and Tuesday (indoor).

Swimming

The correct swimming kit is needed for pupils to be allowed into the swimming pool.

Girls will need a one piece swimsuit plus a swimming hat and boys will need swimming trunks (not shorts) and a swimming hat.

Year 3 will be swimming during the Autumn term and the Spring term.

Home Learning

Homework will be sent home on a Thursday. This will include reading at least 4 times per week for at least 20 minutes, times tables practise on TT rock stars ( 10 minutes per day), an English and Maths exercise on IXL/ Century AI or a paper exercise and spellings to learn. Remember, we have our new reading incentive now too; If you read 20 times your child will receive a certificate and a reading leaf on our reading tree. To achieve this an adult must sign their reading diary. They will continue earning more certificates and reading leaves for every 20 time they read. Enjoy!!

It is important that you help and support your child to complete their homework. If you are unsure how you can support your child, please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher.

Children are encouraged to attend Study Support on Thursday after school as they will have help, if needed, in addition to having access to the resources in school. It is a great opportunity to complete homework.
