What are the rules in Year 3?

In class we follow the 5 school rules:
1. Be polite and courteous to everyone in the school
2. Keep your hands and feet to yourselves, giving each other proper space
3. Respect school equipment and other people’s property
4. Walk in the school building and in from your line
5. Follow instructions as soon as they are given, from all adults in the school

Rewards
In class you will be rewarded with praise, smileys, certificates, table points and class marbles.

However, when you do not follow the rules warnings will be given. 4 warnings will result in a visit to Mrs Jackson and 5 warnings will result in a letter home– of course we hope this will not happen!

Table Points & Class Marble Jar
We will create some rules together as a class for these.

If your table receives the most table points for the week then you everyone on your table will receive a reward.

When our marble jar is full you can choose a treat as a class.

Rewards for Reading
Each time you read at home make sure a grown up writes in your reading diary.
Every 25 reads you will receive a certificate!

What will our routine be like?

School begins at 8:45 am.

Early morning work starts in class at 8:30 am when the gate opens. This is a chance for you to finish any work or read and respond to your teachers' feedback.

The start of the school day is an extremely busy period so messages from parents, or items that have been forgotten can be left at the School Office to be passed onto teachers. Parents are welcome to write a note to the teacher in the pupil’s reading record.

In Year 3 we usually have 2 break times. This is a little different to Year 2 where you would have had a morning, lunch and afternoon break. Times will be confirmed at the beginning of the academic year.

School ends at 3:15 pm. Your parents/carers will collect you from the play ground (unless otherwise arranged with Mrs Jackson).

Here is a sample of what a typical day in Year 3 might look like:
