Year 3

Welcome to Year3 – the beginning of Key Stage 2!

Spring Term will bring lots of new learning to year 3.

The Year 3 Team is :

Class Teacher: Mrs Baker
Class LSAs: Mrs Lloyd
PPA Cover: Miss Pope.

Below you will see a timetable which offers a guide to how the week will be organized. Occasionally changes are made due to the nature of primary school life, and we will keep you and the children up to date of any changes.

Maths: our main focus will be multiplication and division. To support this children are encouraged to use the TT Rockstars website or app to keep going over them and polish them up. There are certificates for best in class and there are inter-class “battles”. Please do allow your child some time at home to hone their skills and make year 3 a winning class.

Reading and Writing: Hot on the heels of “Titanic”, which is always popular, I have chosen a new book and hope the children will love reading “The Wild Robot” with me. We will look and vocabulary, inference and style in our reading lessons. We will use the book to inspire some report writing and poetry. Spellings continue with weekly lists, printed and via Seesaw.

History: The legacy of the Titanic Disaster.

Geography: The Antarctic

PE: Fitness and Well Being, and Basketball. We will find as many opportunities to practice cross country running as possible too (weather allowing) as there are some inter-school competitions coming up. PE is in Tuesdays and Fridays.

Computing: Online Safety and online “friendships

D&T: Castles modelling

Art: Landscapes

Music: Singing and notation

Science: Plants and animals. We will do practical investigations, make scientific predictions, observe and record our findings to draw conclusions.

Please ensure children have a change of footwear in a named bag for accessing the field at lunchtime during this rainy term. It will help preserve the carpet and be safer for the children.

May I remind you that snacks should be fruit or vegetable based. I strongly recommend year 3 pupils have them as they eat lunch in the second sitting at lunchtimes.

I am happy to have a brief chat with parents in the mornings for a quick update. If you need more time than that, please request a scheduled meeting by contacting the school office.

Here’s to more exciting learning days - and the days getting longer and lighter.

Let’s work together to make sure your children enjoy school, achieve their goals and “dream big” this term.

Best wishes,

the Year 3 Team.
