Year 3
Welcome to Year 3
Welcome to our Year 3 Class Page, here you will find all the information relevant to our lovely Year 3 class at Woodchurch C of E Primary School. For further information, please see the rest of the school website.
PE
PE is every Thursday in Year 3. Parents should make sure children’s earrings are taken out or covered with tape. Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days. Please see Uniform for more information.
Homework
In Year 3, we currently set spelling and timestables homework via SpellingShed and TTRockstars which the children can access via their own logins at home on any device. The class teacher checks the children’s access to these sites regularly.
Reading books are changed every Friday, children take these home each night and will read to you. If you do hear your child read, please sign their reading record!
What does reading look like in Year 3?
In KS2, we do not engage in daily 1:1 reading with the children. Instead, during our reading workshop sessions, the children will have the opportunity to read a variety of new and unfamiliar texts with their class teacher.
During our Reading Workshop sessions, we not only read the new text, we learn how to analyse and pick apart the text. We look at new and unfamiliar vocabulary and explore the language that is being used. Children also have the chance to hone their comprehension skills as we begin to answer questions relating to the text.
