Welcome Year 3 2024-25 cohort,

Learning at home

At Fielding, children are expected to learn at home. This helps them to develop skills in key educational areas. Whilst we understand lives are busy, these need to be prioritised. Please see your class teacher if you would like to discuss further.  

  • Read daily (children sign their reading record daily and parents sign once a week). These must be in school every day. 
  • Play Times Tables Rockstars 4 times a week (see the parent guide at the foot of this page). Click here.
  • Practise spellings daily (see question prompts at the foot of this page). Spellings are further down this page and in your child's reading record.
  • Handwriting click here for a link to resources we use in school. These can be printed off at home and practiced.

Snacks

Please ensure that your child has a healthy snack for morning breaktimes. No biscuits/cake bars, crisps, or pastries.

Lockers

Each child has been assigned a locker in which to keep their belongings. Children are expected to bring in their Reading Records and reading books every day. Bags must be able to contain these and these must fit inside their lockers. Some children's bags are too big, please consider what they are bringing. 

 

Any changes of clothes for after school clubs must also be stored in lockers.  Children will also need to store coats in their lockers.

Homework

Reading

Reading and/or talking about their reading to an adult for at least 20 minutes, 5 times a week. Complete your child’s reading record each time they read - you or they can sign it. An adult must sign it at least once a week. Remember it doesn’t always have to be their school book. Reading records and reading books should be sent into school daily.

Mathematics

Times Tables Rockstars = 4 times per week Click here

Each child has access to Times Table Rockstars. It is the same login as Numbots. By the end of Year 3, children need to know their: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 times tables off by heart. 

 

At present children should have learnt their 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables in school. This is a great video  to help learn the 3's and a good channel for the other times tables: click here.

 

There will be weekly tournaments running from Wednesday to Wednesday. 

  • Highest scoring class gets a certificate 
  • Highest scoring student from each class gets a mention
  • Highest scorer across the year group gets a certificate 
  • There are also lots of ideas here to help learn their times table - including Year 4 style assessment practice: Click here
