We had an exciting end to the week today with a visit from a child who left the class at the end of Year 2 and moved overseas. The children were very excited to see her and were keen to hear her news. We combined her visit with a class reward for reaching 300 house points. During the last lesson of the week, the children listened to some of their favourite songs and were able to choose their own learning.
Home learning.
For home learning this week we are encouraging the children to think about what they would like to do when they are older and also set targets for the end of year 3 (or sooner). Target setting is a useful skill and it would be helpful if you could help your child set realistic goals that could be measured.
For example:
My goal is to learn my 3 times table by half term.
I'll know I have achieved this if I can answer ten 3 times tables questions without making a mistake.
Timetables will be a focus for both maths groups this term so I would encourage children to choose a timetables goal if they are struggling to think of their own one. Mrs Scott's group will be working on 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Mine and Mrs Thorpe's group will also be working on 3, 4 and 8 times tables.
POW Passports
On Thursday the children's POW passports came home in a plastic wallet. These are to be stored at home from now on and will be celebrated and presented to your child during their year 4 leavers assembly. For year 3, Mr Spracklen would like passports to be brought into school to check progress the week of Monday 16th March and Monday 6th July 2020.
Please also bring in your child's passport into school when they have met a milestone.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
The year 3 team.
