Welcome to Year 3 HM

Our class teacher is Mrs Mikolajczyk and our teaching assistant is Mrs Barker. In addition, Mrs Crockett teaches the class on a Wednesday afternoon and all day on a Thursday.

In our class the expectations are built around the core values of our school. STARS 

PE and Kit Information 

Our PE day is on a Tuesday.  Please can children come to school wearing their PE kit throughout the year on Tuesdays (including swimming days).  3HM will be swimming on a Tuesday during the Autumn Term.

The PE kit is as follows: 

Navy shorts, white polo shirt, white socks, navy joggers, navy jumper and trainers.  (Please note: sun hats will be needed during the summer) 

Reading 

Reading is crucial to everything that children do. We nurture a love of reading and encourage the children to read every day in class and to read for pleasure. 

Children should be reading at home as often as possible and at least 5 times a week. Talk with your child about the books they are reading. Just 5 minutes reading a day builds up to many hours over time. This will make the difference to the progress your child makes in reading and their enjoyment of reading. 

Please sign your child’s Home School Diary whenever he/she reads at home. Each Friday we monitor how many times each child has read at home and we also award a Reader of the week. 

Homework and Reading 

Year 3s will also have Maths and English homework on a weekly basis. Some of these will be set on Seesaw. In addition to weekly Maths/English, they will also be expected to read every evening to an adult. 

Reading remains a priority and we expect the children to read at least 5 times a week with an adult. 

It is really important that with all homework the children are encouraged to complete it independently but then supported when necessary. 

Remember that your child has usernames and passwords for Education City, Times Tables Rock Stars and Spelling Shed in their diaries. Please use them at home to support their learning.
