Year 3

Welcome to Year 3! Mrs McFall and Mr Nicholls are the Year 3 teachers with Miss Pettifor, Mrs Mattu and Mrs Malone as supporting staff. We want the children in our year group to be happy individuals with a love for learning. We work hard together as a team of adults and children in a supportive, kind environment. 

We want our children to love coming into school to learn with us. In Year 3 it is our aim for all children to feel happy, valued and heard. We work hard to ensure all children are included by offering a wide range of teaching approaches and we encourage a team ethos between all children and adults to help us be the best we can be. 

Our Autumn 1 topic in Year 3 is 'The Stone Age'. 

This term, our history topic will take us on an exciting journey back in time to explore life as an early human. 

 

Our English will focus around books linked to our topic and skills will include: 

expanded noun phrase

fronted adverbials for time and place

co-ordinating conjunctions (or, and, but, so, yet)

 

In Science we will be learning about rocks, soil and fossils. 

 

PLEASE NOTE: - We have P. E. on Wednesday. Both indoor and outdoor P.E. kits are needed this term. 

Homework is given every Friday and should be returned the following Monday. 

The children also have login details for Times Table Rock Stars in their reading diary. We recommend that all children use this at home to suport their learning at school. 

In Year 3 we expect children to read at home every day. Please listen to your child read daily and complete the reading diary.
