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 Summer 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 Broadford and the password is triangle. 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:
On Friday 9th June Year 3 will be hosting a maths party in the hall, which parents are encouraged to attend. This will be an opportunity to gain further insight into the maths work children do in year 3. On Monday 12th June, Year 3 are taking part in a WW2 workshop where they will be transported back in time to find out what it was like for a child during the war.
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 DBS 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,
Mrs Claxton Miss Pearson
