Homework

All homework this year for all year groups will be posted on Seesaw every Thursday.

Homework is set every Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday. 

Please see the guidance attached in the files below and you can also find this on the inside cover of your homework book.

Our homework will focus on reading, spellings, TT Rock Stars and/or maths activities. Remember to keep a log of any reading your child completes at home in their reading records. Theses are checked in school.

What is the impact of reading?

Our Year 3 Autumn Read Alouds...

We love reading for pleasure in Y3, we can't wait for our daily read aloud sessions which we share together as a class.  Year 3 will be exploring a beautiful collection of longer fiction texts and poetry this half term. The children have the opportunity to choose which book we will be reading next. 

Autumn Term Reminders:

PE: Y3 will have PE every Tuesday afternoon (Tag Rugby with Mr Coloeclough and Myself) and Forest school every Thursday morning for Autum 1 with Mr Coleclough and Myself. This half term. Children should come dressed in their PE kit on these days. It is essential all PE jumpers/jackets are named. All Children must have correct footwear and water bottles. 

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time. Please ensure your child’s name is on their bottle. Sunscreen and a sunhat may also be needed.

Snack: If you wish to send in a snack, please make sure it is healthy - no chocolate, crisps or sweets. We are a nut free school. Snack can also be purchased from the school kitchen using credit on your child’s dinner money account.

I have also attached a subject overview for the whole year (click here) so you can see our up and coming themes and the broad and balance curriculum we offer at Sandiway.

The Growth Mindset:

In my own teaching, I am a great believer in the power of positivity and the growth mindset. The growth mindset plays a huge part in our learning. This mindset allows us to change our language which helps us to change an outcome. Hopefully it won't be long before your children begin to use the langauge 'I can't do it YET' and 'mistakes make my brain grow!' Here's a little video to explain it a little more (your children will become very familiar with Mojo!).
