Beech - year 3

Welcome to Year 3 and Beech class! I am very excited about getting to know you all over the next year!

This term our topic will be a new one: From Tealeaf to Teapot. We will be learning all about Fairtrade and how certain food and drinks are grown and sold around the world fairly. This will then move into our Black History Month topic of India where we will discover amazing people, exciting cultures and fantastic art which will culminate in an art exhibition for all to come and see. Please see the Term 1 Topic Web for more information.

Please feel free to ask questions or make an appointment to see me if you would like to discuss something in more depth.

Miss Derrick.

Key Info

- Spellings
- Spelling words will come home on Friday with the homework and a spelling test will take place the following Friday.
  
  Children will also practise these spellings throughout the week in school Term 1 Spellings
  
  There is also a Y3/4 statutory spellings list for children to work on.
- PE and Forest School
- Beech class will have PE on Tuesdays and Thursdays this term. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit, including a change of shoes, in school with them on those days.
- Reading
- Children have a reading record and school reading book that they bring home with them.
  
  It would be fantastic if children have the opportunity to read with an adult at least three times a week at home even if they are fluent readers. Fluent readers still need support with comprehension, so ask lots of questions. Please ask for a sheet with comprehension questions and activity ideas if you are unsure of how to support this.
  
  Please remind children to bring in their reading record.
- Homework
- Homework is given out each Friday and due back the following Wednesday. It is available in paper copies from the classroom and electronically on Google Classroom too.
- Times tables
- It would be fantastic if children had the opportunity to practise their 3x, 4x and 8x tables at home with an adult. This really has a huge impact on their mathematical learning in the classroom. All children have a Times Table Rock Stars login (ask me if you don't know it) to practise their times tables at home too. There are also other free websites such as 'Hit the Button' where they can practise. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button :)
