Year 3 - Wildcats

Welcome to Year 3 Wildcats 2020-2021!

We are a busy, fun loving class of 31 children.

Mrs Plumb is our teacher. Mrs Rigby teaches us on a Wednesday. Mrs Hill teaches us on a Monday afternoon, works with us in the mornings and also works with groups.

Useful Information

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays - please send your children to school in their outdoor PE kits on these days. PE kits should be in school colours (blue, white or black) and outdoor kit should include a t-shirt, shorts or joggers depending on the weather, a jacket and trainers.

Homework will be given out on a Thursday and is due back the following Tuesday. Children will be rewarded with dojos for being 'on time' handing in their homework every week. Dojos add up to stamps on their stamp card, and stamps add up to prizes!

Spelling tests will take place on Wednesdays and new spelling lists will also be given out on Wednesdays. Please encourage your children to learn the words from their weekly lists - these can be found in the 'Spelling Lists' section of the children's blue diaries.

Times tables tests will take place on Fridays. Children must achieve full marks on their times tables tests for two consecutive weeks to pass a table. There are 24 questions on each test (multiplications and divisions) and the children are given 4 minutes to complete it. The order for times tables tests is: 2s, 5s, 10s, 3s, 4s, 8s, 6s, 7s, 9s, 11s, 12s. By the end of Year 3, children should have secured up to and including their 8x tables to achieve the national expectation.

Reading is a priority at Dalestorth. If your child reads a minimum of three times per week and this is evidenced in their blue diaries and signed by a parent, your child will receive a raffle ticket for the weekly reading raffle, where they can win a brand new book of their choice. Reading above and beyond 3 times per week earns extra dojo points!

Our topic for Summer is ‘To Be Or Not To Be?’, an arts based topic based on William Shakespeare. Please see the termly newsletter below for more information about what this topic will cover.
