Homework:
Please note that this term's project homework is at the bottom of the page.
The children will receive their homework sheets this week. Please choose at least two tasks to complete over the course of our project. The children are welcome to complete more if they wish. We look forward to seeing what they produce in our homework museum on the Monday 21st October 2024.
We also encourage children to practice our weekly spellings at home as well as the Y3/4 common exception words.
Reading:
We would love to see Year 3 using their extra time at home to read some brilliant books. If children read three times at home, they get a raffle ticket. Please therefore keep a quick record in reading logs – your children can write the title in to help! We would also like to encourage children to bring their reading records into school everyday.
