Useful information 

• All children will need to bring their book bag to school daily. Please ensure that book bags are named and always have their reading book and reading record in them. Also please ensure you check your child's book bag daily. We have seen things in them that were sent home in Year 2 and letters from this year that have not been taken out. 
• Water bottles need to be brought in daily and should be filled with water not squash, unless specific arrangements have been made with the class teacher.  It would be useful to double-check they have their bottle to bring home when you collect them.  These also need to be named please.  

PLEASE DO LOOK ON YOUR CHILD'S SEESAW ACCOUNT TO SEE THEIR LEARNING. 

Spellings

In year 3, we will assess the children's current knowledge of the Year 1 / 2 common exception words to enable us to teach any gaps. Some children will continue to be taught these in a small group instead of the Year 3 main spelling teaching. Your child's class teacher will inform you if your child will need this extra support. 

The children will continue to use their phonics knowledge to aid spelling and will start to learn more complex graphemes (letters) that represent the sounds. We are using Spelling Shed schemes of work to teaching spelling across the school. 

This list is from the National Curriculum and the expectation is that all children will be able to read and spell these words and use them in their writing. Some of these words are decodable and others will be 'tricky' words which cannot be sounded out and just need to be learnt.
