PE in Year 3

Each week, the children have two sessions of PE - one indoor session (Tuesday) and one outdoor session (Thursday). Children should come in to school wearing their PE kits on these days.  

Please follow the link below to find out more about our PE uniform expectations:

Home Learning

Each week, we will set home learning tasks for the children to complete. One will be a reading-based activity on Purple Mash (starting in Autumn 2).  Maths home learning will be set on TTRockstars.

The children will have spellings sent home each week in their spelling books.  Spellings are sent home on a Monday and tested on a Friday. 

All other homework will be set on a Thursday and should be returned the following Tuesday. 

Children have two different reading books to bring home - one will either be a phonics book or a colour-banded book and one will be a free choice 'sharing book' from the school library.  Each class visits the library once a week to change their books. 

Follow the link below to the 'If you like...try...' book suggestion lists.
