Homework
Your child will receive maths and English homework each week. Homework will be handed out on Tuesday and will be due back in on the following Monday. It would be beneficial if you could discuss your child’s homework with them. To be able to complete their homework your child will need a pencil, black pen, ruler, rubber and either pencil crayons or felt tip pens. We would also like your child to practice on Numbots or Times Table Rockstars each week. These websites will help consolidate the learning that has taken place in school.
Reading
We would like your child to read frequently at home and discuss what they have read with an adult. Please fill in your child’s reading record with them each time they read and make sure they bring it to school each day. The book will be changed regularly. Your child also has access to Bug Club. This website allows children to read a range of books and answer questions about what they have, or simply read for pleasure. It's a wonderful resource and we are very keen for the children to use it frequently.
Library
Our library day is Friday. The children are able to choose a new book each time they visit the library. It's wonderful to see how excited the are when selecting a new book to read. Please talk to them at home about their book choices so you can see the excitement for yourself!
Outdoor Elements
We visited Outdoor Elements as a year group. We spent all day outside in nature and had a wonderful time with our classmates. We took part in lots of fun activities and showed lots of resilience and determination.
3B Visit Blackburn Museum
We had a wonderful time on our art trip to Blackburn Museum. We took part in two different printing workshops and had a tour of the galleries.
Visit to Nelson Library
We visited Nelson Library for a wonderful book session with Mrs Stevenson! Both books were about unusual villains and we had lots of fun designing our own villian. We also looked around the library and we learnt about all the things that happen in the library. We are really excited about visiting with our families at the weekends and during the holidays.
Library 2026
Both classes are taking part in the Schools Linking Project this year.
3B
3B have been paired with St. Teresa's Catholic Primary School in Penwortham. It has been wonderful getting to know our new friends. Firstly we sent each other bunting to introduce ourselves.
Then we had a Zoom meeting where we got to see each other for the first time.
Following this we sent each other curiosity questions so we could get to know each other better. We asked things such as:
'Were you born in England?'
'Do you play any sports?
'Can you speak another language?'
We then met up with our linking class at Burnley Youth Theatre. We took part in different workshops, ate lunch together and then performed for each other on the stage. It was a wonderful day full of new friendships, fun and laughter.
Reading
We love reading in Year 3!
We enjoy spending time in our reading areas in our classrooms and visiting our school library. We love discuss what we are reading with our friends and adults in school.
