For homework this week we would like you to practise the column addition method you have been learning in maths. 

Using the squared paper you have taken home, set out each calculation neatly using the column method and calculate each answer carefully. 

Mrs Billingham’s maths class have their questions already in their homework book.  

Kind regards, 

Year 3 Team. 

Year 3 Homework

Welcome to the Year 3 Homework Page. Each week we will upload the homework on a Friday, with any instructional information to this page. Homework will be set every Friday in Y3, and due to be handed in the following Thursday. Spellings will also be set every Friday with a spelling test the following Friday. 

As always, if you have any questions please email us on year3@springfieldprimary.net.

Best wishes, 

Year 3 Team

The Stone Age is a period of prehistoric time that spans more than 3 million years. Our Stone Age ancestors achieved a number of major developments during the Stone Age, key inventions that helped humans survive in a harsh world.

Your homework this week is to find out about some of the main inventions from the Stone Age.

In your homework books, draw a labelled diagram of the invention and describe what it does. Please do at least 2 (but you can do more if you like!)

Homework 26.9.25 

National Poetry Day is on Thursday 2nd October and the theme this year is ‘Play’. To celebrate the day, we will perform a poem as a class. Your homework for this week is to learn an adaptation of the poem “Just Playing” by Anita Wadley. 

You do not need to write anything in your homework books or copy the poem out. Just have fun learning it with your families using your oracy skills. You can add actions too if you wish, to help you remember the lines.  You could learn one verse, two verses or three, you choose. 

We will rehearse together in school next Thursday and share the poem together. 

Friday 19th September

Gemstone Research

For your homework this week we would like you to do some research on Gemstones. We have been looking at rocks in Science.

Have a look at the document below to find all the instructions needed. 

Complete your homework in your homework book. If using colour, please only use coloured pencils.

Friday 12th September

For your homework this week we would like you to revise your capital letters and full stops. In line with our sustainability policy, we will be keeping printing to a minimum. We would like children to copy these paragraphs, using pencil, into their homework books and add the full stops and capital letters where needed. Please complete this by Thursday 18th September.

Please contact us on year3@springfieldprimary.net with any questions.

Class Reps 

Every year, class reps are elected (democratically!) to represent their class on various school councils. We have already discussed this with the children and asked them to consider if they would like one of these roles. 

On Monday 15th September we will ask the children (if they want to – this is optional, not compulsory) to present their ideas as to why they would be the best person for the role. Please see below for a list of the possible roles and responsibilities.  

Please help your child prepare for this if they wish to present on Monday.
