Year 3 final homework

We have reached the final week in Year 3! Homework this week is more organisational.

Reading books: We kindly ask that school reading books are returned to school at the start of next week. Instead of a school reading book, we ask that each child brings in a book from home that they would enjoy reading.

Plastic bag to take work books home: Please could each child bring a plastic bag in on Tuesday so that they are able to take home their wonderful work books easily.

Optional Computing task: The children were super enthused when solving this weeks tasks. There is one more challenge which I know lots of the children are desperate to complete! I have set this as a 2Do for an optional homework activity.
