Welcome to Year 3
Welcome to Year 3. A landmark year as you head into KS2 and begin to work towards gaining all of the knowledge and skills you will need for secondary school.
In Year 3, Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Back teaching us. They are supported by Mrs. Hornblow, Miss Fountain and Mrs Escoffery. Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Back like to make our learning as interactive as possible and as Mary Exton's Art and DT lead, Mrs Back also likes to be creative with our learning.
As we head onto the KS2 playground for our break and lunchtime sessions, we also get the opportunity to start a musical instrument. Do ask in the office if this is something you would be interested in.
Something to remember in Year 3 is that we need to start bringing in our own break time snack. Our PE sessions are Tuesday's and Wednesday's so don't forget to bring in your PE kit!
Please keep an eye on this page for updated curriculum maps and termly topics!

English in Year 3
Recommended Reading
Please find a recommended reading list from 'The School Reading List' here. It includes some brilliant books which are age appropriate and there will be something for everyone on the list. It is important that the children read a range of genre and authors to support them with their writing for style and engagement. However, ultimately, we want our children to have a love of reading.
Maths in Year 3
In Year 3, children build on their earlier maths skills by working confidently with numbers up to 1,000. They learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide using both mental methods and written strategies, and start to recall times tables for 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10. They explore fractions, shapes, and measurements, telling the time to the nearest minute and using money in practical contexts. Children also begin to collect and interpret data in simple charts and tables. At home, parents can support by practising times tables, telling the time together, using money when shopping, and encouraging children to explain how they solve problems. Playing games involving numbers, measurement or logic is a fun way to build confidence and help children see how maths is used every day.
