Our Learning in Year 3

Click on the badges below to find out about our learning in class throughout the year. 

Meet the Year 3 Team:

Class Teacher

Miss Smith

Teaching & Learning Assistants

Miss Mack

Mrs Wilton & Miss Ivinson will teach us on Tuesday afternoons.

This year our P.E days are Wednesday and Thursday. The children will need to come to school in their school PE kit. This must be a plain white t-shirt or the red school P.E t-shirt with black bottoms such as leggings, shorts or joggers and a pair of trainers or black PE pumps. If it is cold, your child can bring a plain black cardigan or jumper to wear. Earrings will need to be removed for P.E lessons.

 Your child will be given a homework book and receive alternate homework each week to complete in this. One week will be a 'talk token' which is designed for you to talk about your child's learning with them at home. The next week will be a maths activity for them to complete and discuss. This will be sent home on a Friday and needs to be returned on or before the following Friday. Children will receive a 'Homework Heroes' raffle ticket for completing the talk token or the maths activity at home and at the end of the half term, one lucky winner will be drawn at random for a treat!

Spellings are also an expectation of homework in Year 3. This year we will be sending home spellings on a Friday, and we will be doing a weekly spelling quiz the following Friday. This is to support and enhance their writing. Please support your child in learning these spellings and practising them.

Reading is really important. Your child will have two reading books. One is their home reader and one is a reading for pleasure book for them to enjoy. We read to your child in class and during our daily Stop & Read sessions. We also have guided reading sessions and your child will be reading with an adult on a 1:1 basis.

To support this, please could you read with your child for 10 minutes or more per day and then date and sign their reading record.  To encourage a love of reading we will give out raffle tickets each time a child reads at home and has their reading record signed by an adult. 

Your child is expected to know their times tables up to 12 x 12 by the end of Y3. There are many ways to learn times tables which could include reciting them, writing them down, listening to times tables songs etc. Your child will also have allocated time to play on TT Rockstars in school each week but please encourage them to play on TT Rockstars at home as well as this is a fun way for them to learn! We also organise TT Rockstar competitions across school that your child can take part in. The log in has been stuck in their homework book but if you need another copy please just let me know. 

We are looking forward to working closely with you this year to make sure your child has a wonderful time in Y3.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything please catch us on the door at the beginning or end of the day.  You can also contact us via Arbour or ring the office.
