YEAR 3 SCHOOL TIMINGS

The timings for the school day are listed below:

Arrival time - 8:40 am - 8:50 am

Break time - 10:40 am - 11:00 am

Lunchtime - 12:10 pm - 13:10 pm

Collection time - 3:20 pm

Children should bring a bookbag, healthy snack (a piece of fruit/vegetable) and a bottle of water to school each day. Water bottles must be taken home at the end of the day to ensure it is cleaned overnight. No large bags (rucksacks, etc) will be allowed in school. 

We are a sesame and nut free school.

Children may bring their own pencil case if they really want to but these will be used very, very infrequently and eveything your child needs for the school day will be provided so please do not feel this is something you need to buy.  

HOMEWORK INFORMATION

Please note - we do not upload homework tasks to Google Classroom in Year 3. Homework will be given in paper form each week for both Spellings and Maths. 

Children will be provided with a staged reader and they are invited to change this book whenever they have finished it by putting it in the book chaning box in the classroom. We aim to change the books whenever they are needed but please bare in mind that there will be occasional days when this is not possible. Whilst we have a library full of books that your child may read during school time, it is essential that they read their staged reader regularly to help to develop reading and comprehension skills. 

Children will visit the school library weekly but these books are to be kept in school. 
 
Spellings will be set weekly each Thursday and your child’s spelling test will be on the following Thursday. Your child has been given a homework book to stick their spellings into which can be used to practise spellings throughout the week. It will also be a place to keep their ‘look, say, cover, write, check’ homework sheet in so please make sure these are brought into school every Thursday.

Maths homework will be set on a Friday and will be a recap of the key learning we have been doing in class and some earlier Year 2 objectives. New homework will be issued every Friday. Maths homework will commence from Friday 13th September as the Maths homework is intended to be a recap of the week's learning. 

PE INFORMATION

While 3S are swimming (beginning Thursday 10th September) they will need to bring their swimming kit on Thursdays and wear their PE kit ready for outdoor PE on Wednesdays. You will be updated when this changes.  We ask that they keep their PE pumps in school in a named pump bag.
