A Very Warm Welcome to Year 3

 

Welcome to our Year Three information page. Over the year, we will update this page with important information, knowledge organisers, timetables and calendars to support your child's progress. 

 

We are really looking forward to working with you and

your children, as your support makes all the difference.

 Autumn 2 

 Our topic question is: 'Would you survive the Stone Age?'

 

 

This half term, we will be exploring what life was like during the Stone Age through our history topic. The children will learn about how life in Britain changed from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, focusing on people’s homes, tools, art, and culture. Our learning will be further enhanced by an exciting trip to Creswell Crags, where the children will have the opportunity to build shelters, explore caves, and handle real Stone Age artefacts.

PE and Outdoor Learning

In the Autumn term, PE takes place on a Tuesday afternoon and alternative Wednesday mornings.

PE kits consist of PLAIN black shorts or jogging bottoms, PLAIN white t-shirt, and trainers. 

This year, children will need to bring in their named PE kit and this can be kept in school until half term when it will be sent home.

Children will also need to bring their Outdoor Learning kit on Wednesday mornings (see the timetable below) and this will then go home for washing after every session.

 

 

Homework in Year 3

Each week, we ask that all children read with somebody at home at least three times a week. This could be any adult or an older sibling or friend. Please sign their diary and add a comment. Every little bit of reading really does help children on the learning journey.

We also ask that the children practise their weekly spellings which can be found stuck in communication diaries. We conduct a spelling quiz each week as part of a dictation lesson, and these words form part of our English teaching for the week.

A vital aspect of Maths is that the children have a secure recall of times tables so we ask that they spend some time each week on TT Rockstars practising these.

Also, in the Autumn Term we will be continuing the use of Homework books. The homework will be set on a Friday and will need to be returned by Wednesday. 

 

If you have any questions please ask.
