Class 3 Homework

Class 3 History Homework – Due in Wednesday 3rd May 2016

As part of our History topic we will be looking at the Family Tree of the British Royal Family and I thought it would be nice for children to have a go at creating their own family tree. With this in mind, please could you help your child to gather information about your family. They do not need to create a family tree as we will be doing this in class but it would be helpful for them to know the names of the people in their family and to know how they are related. This can be jotted down on a piece of paper and children can even bring in photographs if they want to but this is by no means essential.

Thank you for your support.

Class 3 Homework – due in Friday 4th December

This week’s homework is on division which we have been doing a lot of work on in class this week. The children are really beginning to get the hang of solving division problems so this homework is a good opportunity to reinforce what they have been learning.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

All groups are only expected to do the first page except Fiennes group who are only expected to do the second page.

Class 3 Homework – due Friday 13th November

Dear Parents/Carers,

This week in maths we have moved onto multiplication and we will be focusing on this (as well as division) for the next few weeks. I would really appreciate it if you could help your child to learn their times tables as much as possible. These are the requirements set out by the National Curriculum for each year group (this is the expectation by the end of the year so please don’t panic)!

Year 2: Need to know and recall facts from their 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Year 3: As for Year 2 and to know and recall facts from their 3, 4 and 8 times tables.

I would suggest that you begin by counting up in the number of the table you are focusing on, then move on to recall the x facts in order, then to recalling them out of order and finally to recall the related division facts as well.

It is important for children to know and recall their multiplication facts as this will help them in many other areas of maths. However, we do also place a big emphasis on the depth of the children’s understanding and ensuring they understand what they are doing when they multiply a number and can explain it verbally and in pictures and arrays.

With this in mind, your child has brought home a piece of multiplication homework this week. It will either be a selection of multiplication questions or worded problems. Whichever activity they have brought home it is important that they can explain how they have done it and how they know their answers are right. This can be done through them using equipment, drawing pictures/arrays as well as verbally explaining their work.

If you have any questions about this homework or their maths work in general then please do not hesitate to come and see me.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Silly Sentences

In our English lesson today we played a game called ‘Silly Sentence’. It is a game where children are practising their knowledge of the different types of words.

The children enjoyed it so much that I have sent home a copy for them to be able to play it at home. It’s not official homework as such, it is more of a practice activity that you can play as and when you have time. I have sent home the instructions for the game as well – it does say to be played in a group of 4 but it can be played individually, in pairs etc.

Enjoy!
