Coppice Farm Primary School

WONDROUS WILLOW

Welcome to Wondrous Willow - Year 3

Class Teacher: Mr Green TA Support: Miss Smith

This page will give you information about what we are learning, key dates and allow us to celebrate our fantastic work!

Reading diaries:

Should be brought in every day and home reading will be counted on a Friday.

At Coppice Farm, we have 2 ways to track and record our reading progress. We will be counting the 4 reads recorded in the reading diaries each week as usual and this will count towards our class percentage. We also have our reading challenge - this is an individual tracker where children's individual reads will be counted at their own pace.

Along the way, children are able to earn certificates for 25 reads, 50 reads, 75 reads, 100 reads etc. This will be counted each week (7 reads max a week).

Please ensure that children are reading at least 4 times a week - this can be a combination of physical or digital reading. This needs to be noted in their reading diaries and signed by an adult.

Reading diaries will be checked every Friday morning. Children can change their reading books as often as they wish.

PE:

This year, the class will have P.E every Tuesday and Thursday

All children are to arrive at school wearing their P.E. kit on Tuesday.

For the first 9 weeks Year 3 are swimming on a Thursday. Children will need their swimming kit and towel in a bag to change in and out of at the Leisure Centre. (Please ensure all items are labelled with your child's name)

Forest School:

Start date TBC - we are currently revamping our Forest School curriculum and area.

Spelling:

The children have their own personalised spelling list of the Year 3/4 curriculum words as well as any others they may not have yet mastered from previous year groups.

Practicing these at home will allow further opportunities to consolidate their learning from school.

Times Tables

In Year 3, children need to know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and 8 times tables. We will be revising the 2, 5 and 10 and the children will be introduced to the 3, 4 and 8 times tables over the year, as this is a Year 3 requirement.

We encourage a lot of practice and support at home so children are familiar with these times tables ready for our challenges in class. Times Tables Rock Stars is a great way for the children to practice and their login details have been glued into their Home School Diary at the beginning of the year.

Class Dojo

We will continue to use Class Dojo to award dojo points, set homework, keep you informed of your child's behaviour and achievements in school and to relay any school messages - we also have the messaging function for any other communication.

All absences/illnesses will also need to be reported straight to our school office.

For any face to face queries, please speak to me directly or contact the office to arrange an appointment.
