Welcome to Owl Class

On this page you will find all the information you need to support your child with their learning in Year 3 and their time in Owl Class. 

Hi

I hope you are all having a lovely time.  Just to give you the heads up, P.E. days for term 3 will be a Wednesday and Friday and Forest School will continue to be every other Tuesday (not the first day back).  All other details will follow on the class newsletter at the beginning of term.  Enjoy the rest of the Christmas holidays!

Homework

Homework books have now been given to each child. It is expected that they complete one Maths, English and another homework each term. These books are due back in every Friday. Please do bring books back in every week, even if your child has not completed homework so we can stick in their new spelling list. 

Homework can be submitted in class or via google classroom each term 

There is also a reading record for Term 1 in homework books. It is expected that each child reads at home at least 4 times a week and this is recorded in their books. Please also ensure your child is accessing spelling shed and timestable rockstars at home weekly too. 

Homework club is now running 4 lunchtimes a week for Key Stage 2 from Monday to Thursday. Your child can choose to go to this club to complete any homework and may be sent their towards the end of the term to give them a helping hand in completing it all by the end of the term.

Useful Information For Supporting

Your Child At Home

Staying Safe Online

With children becoming more tech-fluent, it is vital that both children and parents/carers understand how to stay safe online when using a computer, tablet, phone or games console.

This Thinkuknow website is a fantastic government interactive tool to teach both children and adults how to stay safe online.

We recommend using this website to support the conversations we have in school about e-safety and to develop your own knowledge of how to keep your child safe when they are online.

The parent/carer section also has a CEOP reporting link should you discover an unknown person attempting to contact or message your child in any way that is inappropriate. 

Times Table Rockstars

To support your child to learn their times tables at home, we have provided them with their own account for the TTrockstars website.

This website is a fun, challenging and safe way for your child to develop their times table skills and play against children from around the world in a variety of games.

Spelling Shed

Every week new tasks will be assigned to your child on the Spelling Shed website.

These tasks are designed to help your child develop their knowledge of spelling patterns and rules which will support their learning at school.
