Daily Routines

Please come into school via the KS2 door and store your bag in your locker. Bring your water and healthy snack for break time (and your packed lunch) and put them on the Year 3 hydration station trolley by the classroom door. Make sure you have also brought in your reading book and homework diary and put them into your drawer by the classroom door.

When you come in to the classroom, there will be an activity ready for you. At the end of the day, we will come out to the KS2 playground ready to go home.

Weekly Routines

We have a few activities timetabled every week.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - children may have music lessons in school

Monday and Tuesday - PE lessons

On PE days, please come to school wearing your PE uniform. Pupils need to wear a plain white t-shirt (or one with the school logo) and plain black or navy bottoms. Shorts or leggings are best in summer. A school jumper or school sweatshirt should be worn as a warmth layer when needed. Trainers appropriate for undertaking PE should be worn rather than fashion trainers. 

Reading library session. This is on a Thursday afternoon where we go as a class to enjoy quiet reading in the school library. It's an opportunity to change books, relax in the library environment and have quality time to get lost in a good book. 

Homework

Maths - You have a login for Times Tables Rockstars to practice your times tables.

Reading - Please read as much as you can and record it in your homework diary, ideally 5 times a week for 15 mins.

SPaG - This is the CGP book and issued on a Thursday. The children will record the pages they need to complete in their homework diary. It is due back to school for Tuesday.

Spelling - Our spelling lesson is on a Thursday afternoon. We will test spellings from the previous week and learn new spellings. The children will stick a list of new words into their homework diary. A comprehensive list of the spellings for the year is available as a handout. Just email via the office if you'd like one sending home.

Ways to help at home

Please read with your child. Take turns to read, listen to them read but most importantly ask them lots of questions about what you are reading to help develop their comprehension skills and understanding the text. 

To help with writing, taking opportunities like making holiday diaries / scrap books, or sending postcards is a good idea. Creating comic strips is a great way to combine drawing and colouring with writing text for more reluctant writers. Also playing games like Wordle and word searches the children really enjoy.

TTRS is a fun way to engage with maths and see if you can challenge yourself.

Talk to your children about what they are learning and see if they can quiz you about what you know.
