Dear Parents,

Year three has a different way of doing homework! The aim is to make it flexible and to offer a lot more choice about the way the children learn.

Children in year three will still be given a spelling list to learn each week and will still need to read their reading books. In addition, they are asked to complete a selection of the tasks on the attached sheet. The tasks link in some way to the topics we will be studying this half term and beyond.

The aim is to earn at least 20 points. Each child must complete at least one task from each row of the chart and must complete at least six activities. Of course, they can do more than six if they wish!

Parents and carers are asked please to highlight/tick and initial each task completed by their child. Any writing, pictures or project work, art work or photographs should be handed in by Friday 21stOctober. We plan to make a display of the things the children have produced. Please ensure that everything is named.

We do hope you will find this a pleasant way of tackling home learning. Please let us know how it works for your family.

Best wishes,

Mr Brooks

PS: Unfortunately some of the interactive activities may not work on certain tablets/ mobiles and they will need to be played on a desktop or laptop. Alternatively you can install a browser app onto your ipad/ iphone to avoid the ‘requires Flash Player’ message. You may of course find other fun activities and games based on the same themes. If so please make a note of what your child has done. Thank you.
