A very warm welcome to Year 3s class page!

Welcome back to school! We are so excited to begin our Year 3 journey together. This year will be full of fun, learning, and growth. We can’t wait to work with our wonderful families to make this a fantastic year. 

As the author William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Let’s spark that fire together and make Year 3 unforgettable!

Curriculum

To find out about what we have planned and how you can support your child, please download the Year 3 information leaflet attached at the bottom of this page. 

We hope the information will help you support your child’s learning!

Home Learning

Homework will be sent out on a Thursday and is expected to be returned by Tuesday. Homework is intended to extend the learning outside of school and to be enjoyed.

Reading is a lifelong skill; we have created a calming library area within the classroom where children are encouraged to read and share a book. Please continue this at home, encourage your child to read for pleasure and enjoy a ‘good book’. Reading daily, for a short time, is a great habit to get into.

PE

PE days are Monday (inside) and Friday (outside, weather permitting). Please make sure your child has their kit with them on those days.

PE Kit:

A plain white or purple t-shirt

Plain black shorts, joggers or leggings

Trainers
