It’s half-term, so there’s no homework. Enjoy the holiday instead: hunt down a collection of chestnuts on a walk at Roundhay Park, enjoy a cinema trip on a damp day, go further afield and visit somewhere new…
Whatever you do, have a good break.

This week’s homework is creative and is due Thursday 29 September:
I can design a chocolate bar wrapper.
As we begin our Big Topic based on a class novel (in our case, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), this chocolate-themed homework seems appropriate! There’s only one rule: don’t use more than one page of A4.

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due Thursday 22 September:
I understand place value.
We have been learning about place value for the past two weeks.
Here is the place value section for the Age Related Expectations for Year 3. You can find the full document here: https://moortown.leeds.sch.uk/learn-more/expectations-core-subjects/
- count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100
- find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number
- recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, ones)
- compare and order numbers up to 1000
- identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations
- read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals
- read and write numbers up to 1000 in words
- solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas
The above points show what your child has learnt over the past two weeks in maths lessons. Note that we haven’t covered counting in multiples of 4 and 8 yet.
This homework allows your child to continue practising the basics of what we covered in order to keep up their skills!
09 September 2016
This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due Thursday 15 September:
Find out which country the flag from your peg label belongs to.
I would like you to use the brains around you to help you find out! Discuss this with people at home. If nobody knows it, you could look in an atlas or another non-fiction book. As a last resort, you could use the internet to help you but think carefully about what you would have to search for in order to find the answer!
Year 3 also have times tables each week to learn. These will be tested on Friday. This week is the 2 times table.
Have a happy and healthy holiday
It’s the summer holidays at last, so there are no homework or spelling activities. Enjoy the holidays instead!
Does your child spend less time outdoors than prison inmates? A survey suggests three-quarters of children do, as the time spent playing in parks, woods and fields has shrunk dramatically due to lack of green spaces, digital technology and parents’ fears.
Research shows that playing outdoors promotes social skills, improves vision, reduces stress, increases attention span and provides vitamin D.
15 July 2016
This week’s whole school homework involves completing the pupil health questionnaire sent home with your child/children.
I can share my views about health.
This annual questionnaire helps us to find out pupil views on some of our key health issues at school. Please support your child to complete the health questionnaire by discussing these issues.
The questionnaire should be returned to your class teacher by Wednesday 20 July.
