Spellings

Spellings are given to children every Monday and they are tested on the Friday of the same week. Children are encouraged to use a variety of strategies to help them learn their spellings.

Maths

In Maths we will be learning about Multiplication and Division.

More information about our maths work can be found on the 'Year 3 Key Topics' page.

Here is our topic overview for the spring term:

Times Tables

It would be very beneficial for children could practise their times tables regularly - little and often is the best way. In Year 3 children are expected to know their 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.

Websites to help learning times tables include:

Reading

Children are strongly encouraged to read at home. Like times tables, reading little and often is a good way to increase fluency and understanding of text.

Here is a recommended reading list for Year 3:
