Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 3 - Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the new half term! We hope you find this
letter informative, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class
teacher if you have any questions relating to the curriculum.
Homework:
Our
expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every
night:
- 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult and
note in the reading record
- 15 minutes practicing spellings
- 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts
(including multiplication and division)
If children would like to attempt an additional challenge, we have a
new Learning Challenge for children to complete this half of the Spring Term. All
of the activities are based around a significant person, poem or painting
relating to our topics. Children do not have to attempt every activity but
instead select the activities that they are most interested in and compile a
project that reflects the extra time and effort that they have put into their
challenge. We hope that children will take their time with the challenge and be
proud of the work they produce. They should hand this into their teacher at the
end of the half term.
Homework Help:
To assist children with their homework they can use ‘My Maths’. The
login for this program is broadfordbps and the password is broadford.
Each child has been given a personal login so they can access tasks that the
class teacher has set for them. The children can also ask their class teacher
for support or guidance with any project that they may be undertaking.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on
Mondays. The children should practice their words every evening. The test will
take place on Fridays.
Dates for the Diary:
Hazel have their sharing assembly on Wednesday 1st March. It would be
brilliant to see as many parents there as possible to celebrate all of the
incredible work the children in Hazel have done. On Thursday 2nd March it is
World Book Day! The children are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book
character. There will, of course, be certificates and prizes for the best
costumes.
Parental help:
It is always extremely valuable
to have parents who are able to volunteer to help hear the children read, or
support them with their times tables. If you think that you are able to give
some time to support the children, then it would be warmly welcomed. Once again
you will need a current CRB in order to work inside the school.
Curriculum Information
We have included a summary of the topics which the children will be
covering this half term. If you have any questions about the topics being
covered, please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher.
Yours faithfully,
Miss Rooney Miss Pearson
