Uniform

As the youngest children of Key Stage 2, Year 3 pupils are encouraged to take pride in their appearance and set a good example to others by following the school’s uniform expectations.

Please note:

• Only stud earrings are permitted (no other jewellery, except the Sikh Kara).
• Smart watches and large hair bows are not allowed.
• On PE days, stud earrings should be removed and a sweatband must be worn over a Kara.
• Long hair should be tied back or plaited for health and safety reasons.

Thank you for your continued support.

PE Days

PE takes place for each class on:

Children must come to school dressed in full PE kit on their PE day.

Home Learning

Reading

Daily reading is a key part of your child’s learning. Please support us by encouraging your child to read daily and establish a regular routine at home, including limiting screen time and online gaming during the school week.

We provide time during the school day for children to change their books as they finish them, helping them develop independence. It would be helpful to remind your child to bring their book to school each day. 

Homework

Year 3 homework will include daily reading and spelling practice.

Weekly tasks will include either Writing or Grammar/Punctuation. In addition, there will be a Mathematics activity based on the learning covered throughout the week. Some weeks we will also include Foundation subject-related homework or Science, which will replace the English task.

All homework will be set on a Friday. This should be completed and brought into school by the following Friday.
