Year 3

Mrs Locke and Mrs Smith

Hello, and welcome to Year 3. We are very much looking forward to teaching you this year!

In Year 3, our Learning Support Assistant is Mrs Harrison. 

PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday so please ensure PE kits are in for those days. We will keep the kits in school and send home for washing at the end of each half term.

There will be two sets of reading books this year, a colour banded book and a reading for pleasure book. These will be changed once a week when planners have been signed.

In Key Stage Two homework will be set as a grid, with the children expected to complete one question a week from the grid. We also expect children to have read 3 times a week, practiced TT Rockstars and their spellings. Reading at home will be monitored weekly.

Spellings will be sent home on Mondays and put on our class page and there will be an informal spelling test in class on Fridays.

We have lots of interesting learning coming up this half term.

In English we will be completing some writing based on the book Seal Surfer.

In Guided Reading we will be reading 'The Seabook'.

In Maths we will be starting our work on place value and exploring calculation strategies.

In History we are going to be learning about the Romans.

In Geography we will be exploring Snowdonia and the countries of the UK.

In Science we will be looking at forces and magnets.

We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and with our Art week where we will be using the work of Zahar as our inspiration.

Year 3 will also be learning French this year which is brand new for us so this is very exciting.
