Postcards from India

Today, to practise our postcard writing technique, we imagined we were in India on holiday had visited a market and were writing home about our adventure. 

Below is work by: Ella, Jack, Joshua, Emma, Adam, Clemmy, Sam, Eleanor, Anya, Abigail and Dexter. 

They all followed our 'slow write' prompt and added their own vocabulary and detail. 

Spring Term Home Learning Information for Year Three

This term, the home learning expectations are as follows:

Each week, there will be times table practice and either a written consolidation or MyMaths task set. (30 minutes) Each Monday, the children will take part in a times table test.

In school, we have a weekly focus on a spelling rule. A list of spellings to learn that follow the week's rule will be provided. (20 minutes) Class teachers will test each week's spelling list on a Thursday.

Children should read with an adult at least three times a week at home. Where possible, this could be every day. Renaissance Home Connect enables parents to see information about your child's progress within Accelerated Reader. Reading Diaries will be checked weekly by class teachers. 

 

This home learning will be set on a Thursday and will be due in the following Tuesday. Home learning will recommence on Thursday 9th January 2020.
