Weekly Blog & Homework ~ 5.6.23

Blog & Homework for week beginning 5.6.23
 
Dear parents and carers,
I hope you have all had a lovely half term and enjoyed the sunshine when we have had it. Here we are with 7 weeks to go until the summer holidays and a busy first week ahead. This Thursday, we are taking Year 3 to the ever popular Glendale Agricultural Show. Hopefully, you have all returned the consent forms so your child can go on this trip. Please remember packed lunches, sun lotion and sensible clothing for the day. A reminder that all children must wear a school t-shirt and/or cardigan/sweatshirt. We are sure the children will have a great day!
 
P.E
Willow Class will have PE lessons on Tuesday and Friday this week. Please make sure that your child comes in a school PE kit and has a named water bottle in school. 
Next week, Willow class return to swimming on a Tuesday afternoon.
 
 
Homework Overview
Plant project ~ See Google Classroom for homework details.
 
 
Spellings ~ Spelling Frame - access Spelling Frame and complete at least 2 activities and a practice test. 
 
Times Tables Rockstars ~ Jump on to TTRS to have fun building fluency with your times table calculations. Children should spend around 15-20 minutes minimum on Times Tables Rockstars each week. Fluency of multiplication facts will help your child in so many other areas of maths.
This week we have another battle - Willow Class against teachers! Who will win?
 
Reading ~ Your child has a Guided Reading Book. Please ensure you read with your child as well as encouraging independent reading and leave a comment in the reading record to let us know how they are progressing. Your child can write comments too.
Please ensure your reading book and record is in your bag every day.
 
 
 TOP TIPS FOR HOMEWORK...
~ Little and often...and not last minute! Give yourself enough time to complete homework tasks. Why not get as much done through the week so you can have the weekend off : )
~ Be comfortable...make sure you work in a comfortable space, perhaps with a drink and snack.
~ Have little screen breaks to keep your eyes healthy and happy!
 
If for any reason, on any week, you have any issues with homework, please just let me know.
