Attendance
It is Important that your child is in school every day.
We are trying to get 100% attendance every week, so please help by getting your child to school on time, every day.
Learning Logs
As the term progresses, the children will recieve homework every Friday in their learning logs linked to what we are doing in class.
Please support your child with this and encourage them to research information to become independent learners.
If you need support with this please come and see me and I will be happy to explain the challenge set.
Learning Logs will need to be returned every Thursday.
PE
We will be doing at least 2 sessions of Physical Activity each week. It is important that the correct PE kit is in school for these sessions and we encourage children to bring their PE kit in at the start of each half term and take it home to be washed over the holidays.
Reading
All children have been re-assessed to ensure they now have a book at the right level. It’s really important to try and get back into good habits with reading at home as this will have a positive impact across the curriculum. We ask that children aim to read a least 4 times a week and that this is notes in their reading record. This should mostly be the banded reading or phonics book from school, although it is also fine for children to include some of the books they might read from home or the library.
When reading we encourage the use of different strategies. These can be found on our reading page here.
Phonics
We follow the Twinkl Phonics scheme in school. Here is some information for parents

ClassDojo
Y3 have made a great start with the number of Dojo points so far this term already. Points are awarded across the week when children are spotted showing rights respecting behaviour with the top 1st, 2nd and 3rd point scorers being recognised in school. These points are reset each week so that everyone starts from the same point on a weekly basis.
