ADDITIONAL HOMEWORK GUIDANCE...

****Please note due to COVID19 we are regularly reviewing and updating the homework we set. It may take the form of an online activity or practising a skill at home. We will set clear expectations each week with the children, explained and demonstrated to pupils in class, and update this page accordingly***

Please note NO homework or spelling books should be brought into school at this time. The children will be given their books, spellings and any necessary login details at the start of each term to take home. Homework will be explained, discussed, reviewed and celebrated in class on a weekly basis. Under each subject heading below are further details of weekly homework tasks set for pupils in Year 3.

 Spellings homework

Please encourage your child to copy out and learn this week's spellings each day, for a total of 5 days every week. There are lots of suggested spelling strategies in their homework books. Spellings are set on a Monday and tested the following Monday morning, so children have one week to learn their words. Please click below to open the spellings below:
