Welcome, from Mrs Gordon

Welcome to Year 3; we are excited to share our learning journey with you all! Here, you will find lots of photographs of our learning on the right-hand side of this page. We will update the photographs regularly. You can find lots of information about our learning in the curriculum pages at the top, including our knowledge organisers for each topic. We can't wait for you to see what we have been up to! 

PE day:

Year 3 have PE on a Tuesday. Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit on this day. When the weather is colder, children are welcome to come into school with jogging bottoms over their PE kit or base layers underneath.

Swimming:

Year 3 have swimming on a Monday in the Spring Term (dates will be made clear in the newsletter). Children can come to school dressed in their PE kit on this day as well as on a Tuesday for their PE lesson.

Music: 

Year 3 have music on a Tuesday.

Reading:

Reading is central to our curriculum and plays a vital role in developing children's vocabulary and comprehension. In Year 3, we complete five reading lessons a week: two based on our class novel, which helps deepen their understanding of narrative structure and character development, and three linked to our wider curriculum, enabling children to explore non-fiction texts and broaden their knowledge across subjects.

Please bring your home reading books and record every Friday to be changed.

Homework:

In Year 3 homework is designed so that children can consolidate key knowledge through regular, spaced retrieval practice. Each week, children are required to complete activities from their CGP English and Maths books, consolidating the concepts covered in class.  Children can complete activities on Spelling Frame to support learning their weekly spelling list and use TTRS to learn their times tables.  

 

Please bring in your homework books every Friday.

Spelling test is on a Friday. 

Pick up time:

Year 3 children should be collected from the gate at 3:15pm. If somebody new is collecting your child, please let Mrs Gordon know either in person or via email.

Water bottles: 

Please send in a water bottle labelled with your child's name so that they can have a drink throughout the day.
