Year 3 2024 - 2025
Hello Year 3!
Your teachers this year are Miss Gittens (3G) and Miss Mason (3M).
TT Rockstars is a great way to learn and remember times tables. Your child has a login inside their organiser. Please encourage them to spend a few minutes jamming on TT Rockstars just a few times a week. We will incentivise it in school through a leaderboard for effort in practising their tables!
Reading books have been allocated. Your child has been given a day of the week on which they should bring their books for changing, written in their organiser. Please, please do continue to read to your child and to hear them read aloud. Children enjoy reading when it is relaxed and not forced. If you find your child is reluctant to read, please come and talk to us for some ideas on how to get them more engaged.
