Year 3 - Spring Curriculum Newsletter
A warm welcome back to the Spring term and a Happy New Year to you all! 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 practising spellings in their spelling book
● 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)
Times Table Rock Stars:
Every child has now received their login details for Times Table Rockstars, which means they can access their account outside of school. This website offers valuable resources that can support your child’s learning in maths so please encourage your child to use it.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise 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
Cherry and Ash Class will have PE on Monday and Thursday afternoons and Cedar Class will have PE on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, children should come to school wearing their PE kit on these days only. Forest School will take place on Thursday afternoons. In preparation for your child's session, please send into school 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.
Yours sincerely,
