In year 3, our teacher is Miss Gatling, Mrs Tyler (Tuesdays) supported by Miss T and Miss C.

In Year 3 we continue to learn about 6 different themes, take part in lots of trips and outdoor learning and even learn a new musical instrument.        Each term we have a new theme which is taught about in our history, geography, art, DT and music. We also learn about a new science topic, RE, computing, PSHE and PD each term. In year 3 we will continue to practise all of our 9 habits and help others to improve with these. Each term we will write about a new book and publish our work onto our Best Work Ever wall.

Our PE days in year 3 are Mondays and Fridays.

Each term there will be a class newsletter uploaded to this section.

This will tell you all about what we are learning, when our PE days are and what books we will be reading each term. We are very excited to share with you all our fantastic learning each term.

Year 3 had their first visit to Watercress Farm at Belmont Estate which is a Re-Wildering project. We will be going 3 times throughout year 3 to see the wildlife, explore through play and understand how the re-wilding project works. We even had a chance to pet the pigs, make a campfire snack and splash in the river.

 

We would love you to read for 10 minutes a day at home with your child. If your child read's 5 times at home in a week they can spend some time with guinea pigs or rabbits.

Record all Home Learning in your Reading Record Diary. 

Times Tables 

Every Friday, children will be tested in school on their times tables.  Children should spend 5 to 10 minutes each night on Times Tables Rockstars or Sumdog. On Friday, children will receive a score out of 25 which will be recorded in reading diaries for parents to see. Please ensure Reading diaries are brought into school daily.

Spellings:

We now use Spelling shed for our spellings. Your child should be encouraged to spend 5 to 10 minutes on Spelling shed. Your child will be tested on the spellings that they have practiced that week.  The link for spelling shed is https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/login

Home Work Challenges

Each week on a Monday your child will be set a maths, SPAG and times tables challenges on showbie, as well as maths challenges on sumdog. We encourage every child to go at each challenge by Friday each week.
