  3. Weekly Timetable

  4. Behaviour Expectations: • 6 Golden Expectations • Traffic Light systems • Golden certificates • Team points/ golden book

  5. ICT/E - Safety • We take this issue very seriously at Brookburn Primary. • Internet and social media safety is taught to all year groups at the beginning of the school year. We have school-wide safety features, but if anything gets past the filters, students are taught to switch off the screen and report to a member of staff immediately. • Our digital code – Zip it, Block it, Flag it. • We value your support in keeping children safe online by urging you to supervise your child’s on line presence at home and to regularly check your privacy settings on social media sites For more info see the IT section of our website under the curriculum tab.

  6. Attendance and Punctuality • School doors open from 8.50am and close promptly at 9am. • Once the door is locked all children must enter school via the main entrance to be recorded as late. • Doors open to dismiss children at 3.30pm and are locked at 3.40pm. Any children not collected will be sent to the office where their parents will be contacted.

  7. Persistently late/poor attendance- a record is kept in the class register and parents are contacted. Learning sessions not attended significantly impact on children’s learning and are recorded as unauthorised absence in the register. • Please be aware that the Local Authority monitor unauthorised absences and, where appropriate, will issue penalty notices or consider prosecution in the magistrates court. If your child is experiencing any problems that may be affecting their attendance or punctuality, then please contact their class teacher or the office.

  9. Curriculum for the year • Science – Plants, Rocks, Light, Human Body, Magnets and Forces. • Proposed trips – Pantomime, Museum • Visitors – Stone Age workshop/ Music through the ages workshop

  10. Assessment Fortnight Over 2 weeks teachers will assess and discuss the progress of targets with each child. These will be followed by Parents’ Evenings so that we can share children’s individual targets with parents. Therefore, we have realigned Parents’ Evenings to fit more appropriately with teacher assessment cycles to ensure parents and teachers are working together towards meeting children’s targets. Parents’ evenings Mon 21st, Tues 22nd & Wed 23rd November Mon 13th, Tues 14th & Wed 15th March

  11. Key areas that we will be working on in Year 3: • Learn to recall multiplication facts for the 2,3,4,5,6,8 and 10 multiplication times tables. • Recall multiplication facts in a random order with speed (count 5 seconds between each question). • Written methods for the 4 main operations. • Using various sentence structures • Use full stops, capital letters, question marks, exclamation marks and speech marks. • Spelling/handwriting See draft calculation policy on website for more support.

  12. How can you help? • Homework – Posted on the blog every Friday to be returned the following Wednesday. Comprises Literacy, Numeracy, Spellings and Times Tables or occasionally special projects. • Reading books changed every Wednesday. Daily reading at home – 15 minutes. • We ask for your help in supporting children with this work and ensure that books are returned to school promptly (£5 cost for lost books).
