PE:

Our PE days in Year 3 are Wednesday and Thursday. Children should come to school in their PE kit these days. This consists of navy or black joggers/shorts with their white or yellow PE t-shirt as well as their school hoodie or school jumper. 

Reading: 

At Collingwood, we encourage children to read at least 3 times per week (ideally a little every night). We use a reading race incentive to encourage children to read at home. This involves children reading at home and once they reach 40 reads, they earn a golden coin that they can spend at our reading book vending machine. 

Teachers carefully pick every child's reading books depending on their  reading level. Books will be changed  at teachers discretion once they feel the child is confident and ready to move on. 

Spellings:

At Collingwood we follow the Read, Write Inc phonics scheme. Once off the program, children focus on age related spellings on Spelling Shed. Children will receive spellings every Monday from their Fundamentals teacher to then practise at home every night and return to school on a Friday. If children bring their completed spellings into school on a Friday they will receive 5 dojos!
