Recommended reading books for Year 3:
Best Books for Year 3 | Ages 7-8 | BooksForTopics
Expertly selected books for 7 and 8 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)
Reading
Children are asked to read at home on a daily basis and their book should be brought to school each day. It is helpful if parents can comment regularly in their child’s Reading Record, particularly when their child has finished their book. Children are responsible for changing and selecting their own books in the morning.
Homework
Children will be given homework each Friday to be handed in by the following Tuesday. Children are also asked to learn spellings and times tables at home. They are responsible for recording their homework in their homework diary.
Other
Children are asked to bring to school a water bottle. They should have a waterproof coat when it is raining or the forecast is for rain.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on 8th March. We have been really impressed with the children’s engagement in home learning and, particularly, with the live lessons.

Here is our timetable for the week;
It is really important that children continue to engage with live lessons this week as this will help their transition back to school. Live lessons are at 10:45 each day. This week the schedule is as follows;
- Monday -English
- Tuesday – Mathematics
- Wednesday – English (plus a live class read at 2:30).
- Thursday – Mathematics
- Friday – Informal class session
There will also be a live merit assembly at 9:15 on Friday for all children in key stage 2. Congratulations to Krishan, Reluwane, Bella, Shun Ming, Lena, Sackena, Isaiah and Annika who got merit cards in last week’s assembly.
On Thursday we will be celebrating World Book Day. Keep an eye on Google Classroom for details of activities.

Most children will continue to learn remotely for at least the next fortnight. In English we will be beginning a unit of work based on Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit. This will support our work in history and geography. In mathematics we will learn about money. In science we will begin a unit of work on famous scientists beginning with a lesson on Thomas Edison. In RE we continue with our challenge unit, how should we care for our world? and will learn about the Hindu creation story. A full timetable for the week is below. [/dropshadowbox]
