Long Term Plan 2025

PE days this half term (Autumn 1) are Wednesday and Fridays. 

Times Tables

In maths, there will be more of a focus on times tables. These are really important as this forms a large majority of the work the children will cover over the next two years. Please encourage your child to play Times Table Rock Stars (TTRS) at home (let us know if your child needs reminding of their log in details).

Recommended reading for Year 3 children

Reading-

We do not follow a reading scheme, our early reading books are split into colours based on phonics phases.

We also use VIPERS-

What are Vipers?

VIPERS is an acronym to aid the recall of the 6 reading domains as part of the UK’s reading curriculum.  They are the key areas which we feel children need to know and understand in order to improve their comprehension of texts.

VIPERS stands for

  • Vocabulary
  • Inference
  • Prediction
  • Explanation
  • Retrieval
  • Sequence or Summarise
