How can you enrich

your childs learning?

There is much you can do as a
parent to assist your children with
their learning:
To work in partnership with what
is taught in school, your help at
home is invaluable.
Homework
All children are expected to read
every day at home and we ask
that when you listen to your child
read each day, you write a
comment in their reading record
book and sign it. We encourage
children to read material other
than their school reader so if your
child chooses to read e.g a
favourite book, library book or
research information on the
internet please record this.

They will also be given homework to

consolidate learning in class. Their
learning log will be taken home every
Thursday or Friday and should be
brought back to school the following
Wednesday.
Please talk to them about what they are
doing and if necessary help them. A
comment about any help given will be
appreciated.
Please do not hesitate to come in and
see me if you wish to discuss any
concerns.
Thank you for your co-operation and
support.

As a class we will be looking at Folktales and
Fairy tales. We will be reading a range of

the world. Once the children are familiar
with the important parts of a folktale they
will then move onto writing their own.

method.
Word problems involving addition and
subtraction.

]

You could help your child by

reading with them everyday
and helping them to learn
their spellings.

Religious Education>>>
Our R.E topic this half term is the Eucharist.
We will be looking at why Sunday is a special
day for us and what happens when we go to
mass. We will also look at the meaning behind
the body and blood of Christ; this will link in very
well for those children who are enrolled on the
Sacramental Programme this year.

You could help your child if you

ensured they learned the 2 ,3 4,
8, 5, 6 and 10 times table.

French>>>
During year 3 the children will be introduced to
the French vocabulary looking at numbers,
greetings and classroom phrases.

The children will be looking at expressing

themselves through dance. They will also be
practicing their ball skills, particularly
dribbling and controlling the ball with their
feet.

kinds of rocks on the basis of their
