Reading

Children should be reading regularly to an adult at home - at minimum of 3 times a week.  Year 3 home reading books can be changed every Friday. Reading Records are checked every Friday and the number of times your child had read is noted down. Reading certificates are awarded every 20th log in their record. 

 

Homework: Spellings, Reading and Times Tables

Year 3 children will take home one piece of homework every Monday which will have a spelling focus. These words will be tested in a written spelling test in school the following Monday.  We recommend that spellings are practiced every day. 

Children will also take home a new reading book every Friday.  This book will correspond with their reading level in school.  Children are encouraged to read for 10 minutes every day.  Reading can be recorded in their red reading logs.

When testing times tables, focus on facts that children are unable to recall automatically. All children have access to Times Tables Rockstars and should be practising for 10 minutes each day.

 

P.E and Forest School

P.E will take place every Tuesday. Children should come into school wearing their full P.E kit (navy/black joggers or shorts, house colour/white t-shirt and dark jogging top or blue school jumper). Year 3 won’t have forest school this term.

 

Autumn Term 2026

 

English

This term, we will be looking at the text ‘Stone age boy’ with the end of unit outcome writing focus to re-write the story in the children’s own words. We’ll also be looking at the text ‘Explore! Stone, Bronze & Iron Ages’ and writing a non-chronological report. In the second half term, we will read ‘The True Story of the Three Little Pigs’ and write a character description about the wolf as well as a journalistic recount of events in the story.

 

Maths

During this term, we will be learning about place value, with a key focus on representing and partitioning numbers to 1,000. We will then move on to addition and subtraction where children will be working towards adding 3-digit numbers and subtracting a 2-digit number from a 3-digit number. Later in the term, we will begin to focus on multiplication and division.
