This week, in preparation for our performance of Romeo and Juliet, your child began learning our new text map and actions to go with it. To help them prepare and to build their confidence, I have given each child their own copy of the text map so they can continue to practise it at home too. I have also uploaded a copy of the text map below:

Spellings

Your child has now been allocated a spelling group which is written in their reading diary. Please only practise the spellings from their group.

Sparkly Spellers

calendar

caught

centre

century

certain

Super Spellers

eighteen

eighty

sleigh

weight

neighbour

Once you have learned all of your spellings, please practise putting each word into a sentence as that is how you will be tested from now on. For example: I went to the park.

They will be tested on Friday 12th January.

Reading

If you have a Lexia Login please try to do some at home – we are all trying to meet our weekly targets. It doesn’t matter if you have already met yours; the more you do, the better you get – and it would be fantastic to see year 3 on the Lexia Leaderboard in Mrs Wood’s 2%er assembly on Thursday!

If you finish your reading book you can complete the quiz at home. Don’t forget you can quiz on your library book or home books too. (Not all books have quizzes but it’s worth typing in the title to check). Remember to take your time and think about the correct answer as you can only quiz once per book.

Maths

In maths, I would like you to practise your 8 x tables:

1 x 8  2 x 8  3 x 8  4 x 8  5 x 8  6 x 8  7 x 8  8 x 8  9 x 8  10 x 8

Please use your login to TTRockstars to practise your times tables. The children’s logins can be found in the back of their reading records. By the end of Year 3, the expectation is for your child to know their 2, 5, 10, 3, 4, and 8 times tables.

They will be tested on Friday 12th January.

Have a great weekend, Year 3!

Miss Hutton 🙂
