Reading
Reading is really important in Year 3 and children should be reading regularly at home. We encourage your child to read every night just for ten minutes and get their reading record signed. Your child should bring in their book and reading record every day.
Maths
We encourage your child to practise their times tables every week. On the class page you will find a list of times tables apps that may be helpful. Your child has also been given a Times Tables Rockstar login which is in their reading record and a Purple Mash login which will help with their times tables.
Useful Information

Library time– Wednesday afternoon (please bring any Library books back for Wednesday)
Times Tables and Spelling Test– Friday
