Welcome to Year 3
Year 3 is an exciting and challenging year full of learning and fun.
Mrs Clark and Mrs Kitson are our teachers and Miss Ward is our teaching assistant. 🙂
Mrs Clark is currently on maternity leave so Miss Bartle is teaching us from January 2019.
We hope you enjoy looking through what we have been learning!
Homework
Our homework policy now focuses on spellings, times tables and reading.
Spellings will be given out on a Monday and are tested on a Friday.
Our weekly spelling rules for the year can be found here.
A chosen times table will be given out on a Monday and will be tested on a Friday.
Please continue to listen to your child read or ensure they are reading independently at least three times a week and sign their reading record.
In Key Stage 2 we complete whole class guided reading sessions several times a week so all children have a chance to read aloud. They can explore a range of texts as a class and build confidence in public speaking.

History
Class 3 enjoyed learning all about the Normans and the Battle of Hastings during our topic about the Royal Family.
We also explored the Suffragette movement and how women fought for the vote 100 years ago.
In the Spring term we learned all about the Victorians! We decided we would mush rather live now and certainly wouldn’t have wanted to attend Victorian school!
Science
We enjoyed learning all about electricity and how to stay safe in our Sparks Might Fly topic and it was so interesting finding out about rivers in our country in our Water, water everywhere topic. We now know all about the water cycle!
In the Spring term we learned all about the human body. We studies how the digestive system helps break down food and what an important role our teeth play!
English
Class 3 is loving exploring lots of different text types in our English lessons. Our reading and writing is getting better and better every day!
We have loved reading The Water Horse, The Legend of Spud Murphy, The Chilli Challenge and Around the World in 80 Days.
We really enjoyed acting out parts of The Legend of Spud Murphy!
It was so much fun dressing up as our favourite characters for World Book Day!
Maths
Our love of maths shines through in our class work! We are working so hard on our times tables and this is helping with our multiplication and division work. We are maths superstars!
RE
In RE Class 3 is reflective and enjoys learning all about different bible stories. We hope you enjoyed our Stay and pray all about Epiphany! Right now we are learning how to pray the Rosary and all about the Mysteries of the Rosary.
French
Bonjour! We are really enjoying learning how to hold simple conversations in French. We can talk about ourselves, discuss what we are good at and wish each other a Happy Birthday! We can also count, say all our colours, name the days of the week, name the months of the year and name our favourite animals.
