Half Termly optional work linked to our topic will be available on Seesaw for the children to pick and choose from. Dojo's will be rewarded in school for this.
Maths
In our school we provide depth in learning through the use of the White Rose scheme. In our classroom there will be challenges available to deepen learning.
Reading:
During year 3 children start to progress from the reading scheme onto accelerated reader where they choose their own books and then will complete a quiz on the book. This may take the children a while to get their heads round so please be patient with them and us. The children will start by completing an online reading test that will determine the level books they should be reading. The children can then lend books from the school library or books from home. Once they have completed the book they will take a quiz to check their understanding. The quiz typically has 5 questions and the pass rate is 90%.
Children are encouraged to read books at school. When they have finished reading them, they need to go on the following link and complete their quiz.
