Home learning

In Year 3, we alternate between Maths and English home learning activities each week. The home learning is designed to reinforce the learning that has taken place in school during that week.

Reading

To support good progress in reading, it is important that children read regularly at home. We recommend that children read at least three times per week for a minimum of ten minutes each time. Regular reading helps to develop fluency, comprehension and confidence, as well as fostering a lifelong love of books.

Spelling

Spellings are sent home every Friday alongside the weekly home learning tasks. Children should practise these regularly at home in preparation for the spelling tests, which take place every two weeks. Regular practice helps children to develop their spelling knowledge and apply it more confidently in their writing.

Times tables

To support good progress in mathematics, we encourage all children to use Times Tables Rock Stars for at least five minutes each day. Regular practice will help children to develop their recall of multiplication and division facts, building confidence and fluency in their maths learning. TTRS login details can be found inside their home learning books.
