2020 Documents
The homework policy of the school has had to be modified in order that the risk of the Covid 19 virus spreading through contact with shared items is reduced. This impacts greatly on what we send home to you, and what is expected to be returned. Until further notice the Homework set for Year 3 will be as detailed below.
Year 3 Home Learning
|
New Practice |
How often? |
Reading |
The practice of taking our graded reading books home and returning daily cannot be continued at this time. In order to support home reading Year 3 children will access chapter books in Purple Mash..Serial Mash. Each chapter has an attached activity. Parents without access to IT at home must let School know so that a printed copy will be produced.
A free choice Library book will be loaned for a period of four weeks. This is to be read for enjoyment. Books are to be returned on set dates where they will be safely stored for a period before being returned to shelves.
|
Children should read a chapter of each book, each weekday night and complete the tasks set. We encourage parents to read alongside their child.
Library books are for enjoyment. They can be read and reread, or children may chose a book that they want their parent/carer to read to them. |
Spelling |
Spellings will continue to be set, but our expectation is that children practice with parents, without the need to return practice books.
Parents of children who do not do consistently well in tests will be contacted by teachers so that school can provide support. |
A weekly list will be sent home every Monday, with the expectation that children practice these words for 10 minutes at least 3 times a week. Assessment of how successfully they have achieved will be made every Friday. |
Maths |
TT Rockstars/Numbots These sites will be used to develop number skills.
A weekly maths activity will be set. |
Children should use these at least two times a week.
A weekly maths activity will be set |
Learning Projects |
These projects have been hugely successful over recent years, in allowing children to be creative with their approach to homework. In order to mitigate Covid 19 spreading these projects are on hold until the Spring term. |
