Year 3 - Autumn Curriculum Newsletter 

A warm welcome back to the Autumn term from the Year 3 team!  We hope you find this letter informative; please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions on year3@broadford.havering.sch.uk

Homework: 

Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night: 

● 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult (signed in the reading record) 

● 15 minutes practicing spellings in their spelling book 

● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division) 

Mathletics and Times Table Rock Stars:

Every child has now received their login details for Mathletics and Times Table Rockstars, which means they can access their accounts outside of school. Both websites offer valuable resources that can support your child’s learning in maths so please encourage your child to use them. 

Spellings: 

Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practice their words every evening. Spelling books and reading records must be brought in on Fridays, which is also when the weekly test happens. This will be closely monitored.

P.E Lessons/Forest School

Year 3 will have PE on a Monday afternoon, children should come to school wearing their PE kit on this day only. Forest School will take place on Wednesday afternoons, In preparation for your child's first session, please send into school, for your child, a pair of tracksuit/jogging trousers and a pair of welly boots/old trainers/walking boots, in a named carrier bag.  

Curriculum Information

We have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would like to learn in relation to the topics taught, please inform your child’s class teacher. We welcome any suggestions you may have. 

We look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks; please do come and see us if you have any questions at all or alternatively you can email us 

Yours sincerely,
