Welcome to Year 3 with Mrs Oldman, Mrs Harrison & Miss Harris

Welcome to the Year 3 Homepage!

Here you will find out everything you need to know about what Year 3 are getting up to in school.

Welcome to the Spring term

We are so excited to welcome you back in the new year! Spring term in Year 3 is fantastic!  

This term, our curriculum theme is 'what's below the surface?' We will be adventuring beneath the Earth's crust to find out more about what is beneath. In history, we are heading back in time and investiating what life in Britain was like during the Stone Age to the Iron Age. This topic is supported by a fantastic book that we will explore in English lessons - 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura. We will read 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes together in our guided and shared reading sessions. In science, we will become 'Earth explorers' and find out more about rocks and soils. We will delve deeper into our currciulum theme in other subjects across the wider curriculum.

We are joined this half term by Associate Teacher Miss Edwards. She will be working with individual children, supporting groups and teaching some whole-class lessons. 

Please use the tabs above to find out more about what your child is learning about in English and in Maths and for some educational games. Also, using the links above you will also be able to access key information linked with how to contact us and a reminder of what your child needs to bring in each day.

Homework

In Year 3, homework is set on a Friday and should be returned by the following Thursday.

Homework is one task linked to our learning in school that week - either English, Maths or from the wider curriculum. It should take your child about 20 minutes and should be able to be completed independently.

There is also a spelling task to complete each week linked to our learning in spelling lessons.

Reading

We love reading in Year 3. Children become better readers by practising reading as much as possible. We would encourage children to read with an adult or to be read to at home every day for 10 minutes. Children will bring home a levelled reading book that they can read with you. When children have read the book 3 times with an adult at home or at school, they may change it for a new book in our class library. We will also share many texts together in class in our shared and guided reading lessons and we will end every day with a shared read together. 

Important notes:

                              PE days : Monday and Tuesday. Please wear your school sports kit to school on these days.

Snack - Toast is 25p a day. Please book your snack on Parent Pay for the week ahead. You could also supply your child with a healthy snack.
