Homework and useful information

Reading – It is our expectation that children read a minimum of 3 nights per week for at least 20 minutes. Please use the reading diaries as communication if you have any queries. We aim to read 1:1 with the children every week, in addition to daily guided reading sessions. Children can change their reading books when needed and are asked to bring these in every day. Children also have a library slot each week where they can choose a book to read at home or during any free time.

Spellings – Your child will have weekly words (these can be found in the back of their reading logs) which will be the focus for the week. These words will form part of a weekly spelling test every Friday.

Homework – Homework will be given out at the beginning of each term. Your child is expected to choose 3 out of the 9 options given and these areto be handed in once comp-leted. Every week your child will need to learn their spellings and read their home reading book. Rereading the text and understanding what they have read is a primary focus in year 3 spellings. There may be times when additional homework is sent out to support your child’s learning.

Knowledge Organisers – Knowledge organisers are on the class webpage and made availableat the beginning of each term with key knowledge and vocabulary which your child will be learning. 

Water Bottles – Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school. I will be requesting that these return home every afternoon to be washed and refilled for the following day.

P.E. Days/Kits – PE days this year will be Monday andWednesday. Children must ensure they have their PE kit in school for these lessons. This consists of a white P.E. t-shirt, plain black or navy shorts/ leggings / jogging bottoms. 

Should you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can phone the school office but the best way is via email: k.hughes@padihamgreen.lancs.sch.uk
