Welcome to Year 3
Class Teachers: Mrs Davies
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Ellison
Our class is a friendly, safe and nurturing environment for all children to thrive, the children’s well-being is of fundamental importance to their educational development. We strive to be the best we can be, embracing the Trust Virtues ensuring that we all feel safe, respected, happy and ready to learn, enabling us to reach our full potential. We build on the skills and knowledge from earlier years as we prepare to move on to Phase 2.
Our curriculum is a vibrant blend of engaging subjects designed to spark our curiosity as we delve into fascinating topics such as The Stone Age - Iron Age, Rivers, Ancient Civilisations and Rainforests. We approach learning with enthusiasm, and our journey is further enriched through Forest School sessions which are held fortnightly. These outdoor adventures foster personal, social, and technical skills while allowing us to build confidence, independence, and self-esteem. Please ensure your child comes prepared with wellies and waterproofs.
In Year 3, we value the thoughts and opinions of every child. By exploring Fundamental British Values, democratically we elect our Student and Sports council members. The well-being of our students is paramount; we develop strategies for mental health as part of our PSHE curriculum, encompassing relationships, safety, and healthy lifestyles to ensure we thrive.
We recognise good behaviour and have high expectations of everyone in Year 3. We understand we are all unique, but we all come together with respect and value everyone in our class family. Across all our activities, we remember to try to live by our mission statement, ‘In Him we live and move and have our being’ following in the footsteps of Jesus, having loving and understanding hearts.
We celebrate hard work and effort and enjoy earning ‘Dojo’ points during class activities as well as awards for ‘Star of the Week’ and ‘Handwriter of the Week’.
How you can help at home…
Read with your child every day. Ask your child questions about the book they are reading to help develop their comprehension skills.
Remind your child to bring their reading book to school every day.
Help your child to learn their weekly spellings.
Ensure your child is secure with their number bonds to ten as we are moving onto number bonds to 100.
Help your child with their times tables and the corresponding division facts.
Please read our newsletters which give you information about what your child is learning.
Spellings, games, and other updates will be put on Seesaw; your child has their log in details in the front of their reading record.
We have a busy, exciting year ahead, let’s make this a fabulous year together!
