Year 3
Welcome to Year 3!
We are so glad you are here! We hope you enjoy finding out about our learning journey and being kept up to date with important information. Please follow us on 'X' @LeasowesPrimary for more updates on our learning.

Autumn Dates
Forest School - Thursday PM
PE - Monday (until October half term)
PE kits can be kept in the children's school lockers and their kit should include a warm layer such as a hoodie and tracksuit bottoms/leggings for outdoor PE. Long hair should be tied back and earrings cannot be worn.
Forest School kits will be sent home weekly with the children to be washed and returned for the following week’s lesson.
Spellings and Homework
Spellings will be sent home on a Monday and tested the following Monday. Homework for Maths or English will be set on a Wednesday and be collected the following Monday. Diaries need to be signed each time your child reads and we encourage them to read daily as this makes a huge difference to their progress. We ask that children bring these into school every day.
Snacks
In Key Stage Two, children can either bring in a healthy snack from home for morning break or they can bring a small amount of money (in a named purse or named envelope) to buy a snack from the kitchen. Prices vary from 10p for a slice of toast to £1 for a bacon/sausage bap and drink on a Friday.
We look forward to the year ahead in Year 3!

My Mini Maths
Completely free to use. The Mini-Maths section allows quick warm-ups where you can practise the same concept for 5 days in a row. They also have something called TT38 (times table challenge) based around the premise that when you remove the easier times tables they call the basics, there are 38 core facts to know. Children practise these core and basic facts, alongside the related division facts in a rotation of ten days. Find more information here... https://myminimaths.co.uk/tt38-times-tables-skill-builder/
Times Table Rockstars
Children can use this as part of our whole school subscription to practise daily times tables. Please see your child's reading diary for their login details.
Reading Cloud
Children can use the whole school subscription to the Reading Cloud by using their individual barcodes in their Home School Records. There are some ebooks that they can access to read from home. They can also search for books and write their own reviews.
