Welcome to Year 3

Welcome to class 3! Our teacher is Miss Daniels who loves making our lessons as inspiring as possible. Her favourite things are Disney, animals and playing netball. She doesn’t like baked beans very much and is a little scared of birds!

Working alongside Miss Daniels are Mrs Sadiq, Miss Chillmaid, Miss Herbert and Mrs Georgiou. They enjoy working in Year 3 as no day is the same and every day is incredibly rewarding.

Curriculum

We have an exciting year planned for Year 3 children. Our topics this year are; The Stone Age, Egyptians, Skeletons, Climate Zones, Moving Monsters and famous buildings and much more!

Year 3 have P.E. every Tuesday (swimming) and Friday. Children will need suitable swimming kit and P.E. kit for both indoors and outside. Long hair should be tied back and earrings removed.

Every morning starts with EMW (early morning work). EMW is incredibly important because it helps you to revise key concepts from your learning and gives you the chance to practise your arithmetic, reading and writing skills every day. This is why arriving to school on time is so important. It equals 225 minutes a week of revision and feedback time which we have found to really help children make accelerated progress.

Trips etc

In Year 3 we plan local trips in response to our class topics and the children’s interests. Past trips have included Celtic Harmony, British School Museum, St. Albans Verulamium, Airbus, Fairlands, the local cinema, the theatre to watch the pantomime, visiting a farm and museum. We also have many visitors to the class including Warburton’s, Zoolabs, topic workshops, as well as visiting emergency service crew.

General Information and Expectations

8.50 is the time your child should be in school every day. Early morning work is very important and planned, often individually; please ensure your child is on time.

Year 3 Home Learning

It is vitally important that the children read aloud regularly at home. Children in Year 3 should read with an adult at least 5 times every week for at least 5-10 minutes a day. Please remember to sign your child’s reading record.

Children should complete spelling homework, which is set on Spelling Shed, every Friday. They will be tested the following Friday and then set new spellings.

Children should learn their number bonds to 100 using ‘Hit the Button’ (https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button) at least 5 times a week.

The children should learn their times tables 3 times per week using Times Tables Rock Stars.
