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 1

Our topic question is: 'What makes us unique?'

This half term, we will be learning about nutrition and how to stay fit and healthy in Science. We will read 'Call me Lion' by Camilla Chester and 'Flat Stanley' by Jeff Brown and locate countries and describe the features using maps, atlases, globes, and digital mapping in Geography.

PE and Outdoor Learning

In the Autumn term, PE takes place on a Monday 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.

This is the schedule for this Autumn term 1:

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 introducing the use of Homework books.

The homework will be set on a Friday and will need to be returned by Wednesday.
