Welcome to our Year 3 Classes
In Year 3 the children should be reading every day. The school uses the Accelerated Reader scheme. Pupils have completed a Star Reading Assessment, and they have a reading zone written in their reading record book. You can check books from home too to see if they are in your child’s reading zone at https://www.arbookfind.co.uk/ . Reading quizzes take place at school once the book is completed, and certificates can be earned for correct questions.
Children have spellings sent home for a quiz on Friday. These words will be used in spelling and handwriting activities during the week.
We are working hard in class on times tables, so any extra support you can give your child at home would be appreciated. We encourage frequent use of Freckle www.freckle.com
Maths homework tasks are set each week on Freckle, a password-protected website, and you will find your child’s details inside their reading record. Please ask your class teacher if you would like their settings changed so that the questions are always read out loud.
Contact
Year 3 email address: year3learning@holytrinity-gravesend.kent.sch.uk
To ensure that you can communicate with your child’s class teacher, we have created year-group email addresses. When sending an email please include your child’s name in the subject line.
If you have any urgent information/communication please telephone or email the school office, as the administrative team can pass any urgent messages to the class teacher.
Timetable
Please see below an exemplar timetable for most of the weeks this term. On Tuesday we have a dance tutor coming in. On Thursdays we are lucky enough to teach Ballet.
P.E. Day
Bumblebees and Dragonflies have their PE day on a Thursday. Children are expected to wear a white round neck t-shirt, black shorts or joggers, black trainers or plimsolls. As the weather turns colder school cardigans and jumpers can be worn over the top of the T-shirt.
