Our Class

Welcome to Year 3!

This is where your child’s journey into Key Stage 2 begins. Miss Good and I are very excited to teach your children this year. Everyone has settled very well and quickly picked up our classroom routines. We can't wait to take your children on their learning journey. We will work hard, play hard and Miss Good and I will encourage the children to be the best they can be.

We will be learning about a range of different topics over the course of the year in an exciting and creative way, including the Stone Age and the Egyptians. Please look at our topic webs to see what we will be doing in more detail every half term. As a school we will endeavor to give your children the wonderful opportunities they deserve. 

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or if you have a query about anything happening in school.

We will be putting lots of our learning and experiences on the website and twitter for you to look at, so keep your eyes peeled!

If you need to talk about anything we are covering in class please catch me at the start or end of the school day.

Thank you

Mrs Joanne Kennedy and Miss Good

Reading.

Reading books bags are going home every day but your child's book will be changed every  Monday and Thursday.

 

Homework

Your children will be given spellings  every week in their reading folder. Please help your child learn them at home. We have set up their TTRockstars account so they are able to log on and continue to learn their multiplication tables. 

 

PE.

Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has trainers in school on BOTH DAYS. Check out our topic web for this half term to see what they are going to be focusing on this half term. 

No jewellery is to be worn and if your child has their ears pierced could you remove the earrings before sending them to school. 

 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Year 3 are about to begin our new topic about 'Rivers including the river Nile'. Texts will include - ‘The Nile River’ by Allan Fowler and ‘Secrets of the Nile’ by Vavina Starkoff. The children will read a range of non-fiction texts about rivers and the river Nile. They will research and write a report to support their findings about the uses of the River Nile. The children will write a recount about their journey along the River Nile. Other tasks will include producing a presentation about  'Why should we keep our rivers clean'. 
I have added the presentation for all our lovely parents to read about the expectations in Year 3.
 
Thank you.
