Year 3 Homework
Dear Parents/Carers,
We wanted to clarify a few things regarding the new homework system. All homework tasks will be set on Google Classroom. This enables children, parents and teachers to share comments about the tasks. We are aiming to minimise movement of belongings between home and school as much as possible. Therefore, both the spelling and maths books will stay at home. We will ask for these to be brought in once every half term and we will communicate this nearer the time.
We would like children to complete:
Maths - An activity from their maths homework book will be set weekly. The activity will be put on Google Classroom and ideas of how to extend and support will be on there too. Children can use their maths homework jotters to record, and we ask parents to initial and date the task once completed. There is also space at the back of the booklet for weekly comments. TTRockstars is available for the children to use at their leisure.
Reading - The children will bring home a reading book on a Friday and need to return it again on a Monday along with their yellow reading log. They record in their reading log what they have read - they do not need to log on to Accelerated Reader at home.
Spelling - The weekly spellings will be set on Spelling Shed. The children can practise their spellings on Spelling Shed, as well as choosing one activity from the spelling menu to complete in their orange books.
Any other apps or websites the children have access at school can be used as often as they choose.
We have sent step-by-step guides on how to use Google Classroom and Spelling Shed via email. The guide is also attached as a document at the bottom of this post. Please do let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Year 3 Team
