We have a number of online resources, to help you to practise your skills when at home. These are linked below. Please see your teacher if you need a reminder of your log in.

Spellings
In year 3, we teach the spelling rules set out in the national curriculum in Autumn term. In Spring and Summer terms, we use our own Easington Colliery Primary School method of teaching spelling. Target- Train- Teach is a bespoke programme, which identifies the spellings that pupils are struggling with (Target) and ‘re-trains’ pupils working on the methodology/ concept behind that particular spelling rule (Train) and finally we teach pupils (Teach) to reverse a habitual spelling error, by self-correcting & editing during their written work. If you wish to help your child with spelling at home, please practise the following words, taken from the word list from the national curriculum for Y3&4.
Reading
In year 3, reading is taught 4 x per week for 30 minutes. We teach reading with a reciprocal approach, giving the pupils different roles (predictor, clarifier, questioner and summariser), which promotes independence and maximum involvement from pupils, rather than sessions being teacher led.
In addition, pupils will hear a class novel at least 3 times per week, as well as having access to the library every week to choose a book for pleasure.
