Bonus homework this week!! (20.10.2025)

It would be great if children could learn a few lines from the poem 'Gran, Can You Rap?'. We are looking at performance poetry and are going to perform this as a class later this week. They will bring home the poem on Monday.

Maths

In Maths we will be learning about Addition and Subtraction.

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

Here is our topic overview for the autumn 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:
