Layered Targets – Year 3 – Term 1
As part of our continued drive to raise standards and help the children make rapid progress, we have placed your child’s individual ‘targets’ in reading, writing and maths on the school
website under their classes ‘Year Pages’. These targets will be taught regularly in each class, and form an important part of your child’s learning journey. We hope you find it useful to be
aware of the main ‘focus’ in English and maths this term, and feel that you are able to support your child’s learning at home, particularly in these areas. If you would like any further
information, please contact your child’s class teacher via the school office. Your child should know the group they are in.
