Spring 2 Newsletter
Welcome to Class 3/4W! Year 3 is a big step for the children as they move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 and this year the children are encouraged to gain independence by organising themselves and taking responsibility for their own learning.
Teachers:
Class Teachers - Mrs Walsh
Teaching Assistant - Miss Crilly
PPA - Miss Connell (Friday mornings)
Take a look at the newsletter for this term to find out what your child is learning.
The various activities include Spellings and Times Tables. Spellings will be tested on a Friday.
You can also help your child by listening to them read for 15 minutes, 3 times a week which will not only not only expand your child’s vocabulary and ‘ideas bank’ for story writing, but also help them with their spelling! Reading books will be changed regularly.
Your child will also need your help learning their multiplication tables in preparation for the Times Table Challenge in class on a Friday afternoon. Useful strategies include: chanting in order, writing them out in 2 minutes, responding quickly to questions out of order. The Times Table Rockstars website can be used to consolidate this.
