Green Class (Year 3)

 Our Learning in Term 4

A list of spellings or 'sounds of the week' will be sent home to practice. In KS2 they will have a written test the following Friday. There will also be an optional spelling sheet for KS2.

We will also expect the children to log onto Numbots and/or TT Rockstars to complete some maths fluency practice.

Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice. 

This will be sent out on Class Dojo by your class teacher on Fridays.

Forest School

Children will be attending Forest School twice this term.

Please can we ensure that children come in their Forest School clothes on these days along with wellies. These clothes need to suitable for the weather on the day and ones you do not mind getting muddy.   

 PE kits  (Tuesdays and Fridays)

Please make sure your child is wearing the school PE kit on these days. 

If your child has pierced ears it is extremely important that they do not wear earrings during PE lessons - if this is difficult for your child to do independently please remove them at home. Children must have Offham school sport jumpers and black trousers/joggers for outside PE.

Children must have their reading records and books in school everyday.  We will write in there when we have read with the children and use it as a monitoring system. Ideally we would like the children to read at home daily but understand busy schedules may mean this is tricky. Please read as regularly as you can, reading benefits in so many other areas and it is an important age for the children to continue building on this skill. 

Times tables

It is very important that children keep practicing their times tables. They should hopefully be confident with 2s, 5s and 10s but we will keep revisiting these, particularly at the beginning of the year. They will also need to learn their 3s, 4s and 8s this year. There are lots of ways to make this sort of learning a bit more fun. TT Rockstars will support this learning for their fluency. 

Many thanks for your support, 

Miss Graham, Mrs Thomas, Miss Oehl and Mrs Perks

KS2 Optional extra home-learning tasks

 1) Write your own set of instructions of your choice. Some ideas could be making a meal, creating your own art craft and rules on how to play a game. 

2) Create your own card that includes a linkage and a lever. This could be a card for a friend or families birthday or an Easter card. 

3) Research three different types of plants. What do they need to thrive and grow? Use this research to create and information poster or leaflet.

4) Produce some data and present it in a graph. You can present this any way but you could use 2graph on Purple Mash to create it like in our Computing. Some examples of data that you could collect is what colours cars you see on a walk; go on a walk and record all the insects that you come across; and favourite colours with friends and family.
