Homework 17.10.2014

From this week, all homework will be set on the blog. Please make sure you check it every Friday so you can keep up to date with your homework.

All homework is due on Friday 24th October. The spellings and times tables test will take place on this day.

Maths:

This week we have been looking at multiplication and division. Please complete the 2 or 3 Mathletics tasks for this week.  If you have any problems try the help button (?) and then your class teacher.

Times Tables:

This week everyone will be concentrating on their 2 and 5 times tables again. If you feel that you know these really well you can start learning the 4 times tables as well. We would like you to learn these so that you can recall the multiplication facts really quickly. You will then be able to progress onto the next times table after successfully achieving two 100% scores for that times table.

Science:

Our Science topic over the next few weeks is “Helping plants grow well.”

Spellings:

The words for each spelling group are on the 'Spellings' page. You can find this at the top of the page.

We have received many queries from parents about how to keep track of their childs progress in spelling tests. As the children are now in Year 3, we are trying to promote independence and we are encouraging the children to take responsibility for their own learning. In the future, when the children get a spelling wrong, it will be written in the 'tricky words' section of their reading record. This will allow them to do their corrections at home.

Home Reading:

Please remember to read for 10-15 minutes per day and fill in your reading record. As well as your guided reading books, you can read other story books. Parents should aim to sign the reading record at least once a week.
