Welcome to Year 3
Please remember to bring your bookbag each day, with your reading book inside, we have the opportunity to change our library books every week – our designated day is a Thursday. We really encourage children to be reading at least 4 times per week and logging this on Boom Reader.
Similarly, it is also essential for children to practise their times tables to enable them to recall their multiplication and division facts. In Year 3, children will learn the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. Logging on to TT RockStars will support their fluency and we highly encourage regular play to improve the children’s speed. 
PE days are Tuesday and Friday (3BP) and Thursday and Friday (3LE). Remember to come into school already wearing your P.E kit. Please can you ensure that long hair is tied back and jewellery is removed for these days. Please bring a healthy snack for playtime and please also remember a named water bottle.
Our new instrument this year is the ocarina. Please ensure these are kept within book bags each day as we will practise throughout the week.
Thank you for your cooperation and watch this space for regular updates!
Miss Begum, Miss Powell and Mrs Edwards

Year 3 Reading Spine
Regular reading is so important. Please have a look at the Year 3 Reading Spine which shows you some of the books and authors recommended for Year 3 readers. These also link to texts we will be reading in school. Many of these books will be available in your child’s classroom or school library. Please remember Loughborough Library is a great resource for reading for pleasure.
