Year 3 – Brief Overview

This year, your child is in for an exciting and varied journey! In English, Maths, and Science, they will dive into classic stories like The Iron Man, build key math skills like fractions and times tables, and explore hands-on science topics like plants, magnets, and light.

Religious Education and RSHE will help them grow socially and spiritually through lessons on online safety, friendship, and positive choices. They will travel back in time in History to discover Ancient Egypt and Greece, and explore the world in Geography by studying rivers, volcanoes, and biomes.

In the creative subjects, they will recreate artwork in the style of Frida Kahlo and Van Gogh, cook a savoury European dish, hand-stitch their own pencil case, compose music and learn Scratch coding. Plus, they will stay active in PE with everything from football and gymnastics to yoga, while practicing conversational Spanish!

Homework in Year 3

New homework is given out each Friday. It is to be returned to school by the following Thursday. This supports the maths and English work your child has been doing in class and should take no more than 30 minutes. If your child is finding it tricky, please stop after this time and let the teacher know.

Reading Books

Reading books will be sent home on Friday 11th September.

Please send reading books and reading records into school every day. We encourage regular reading at home to support your child’s progress and love for books. We ask that all children read at home for 15 minutes each night. Reading Records should be signed and dated each time your child reads.

Read Write Inc students will bring home a corresponding RWI book.

PE

For this term the children will be participating in PE lessons every Tuesday and Thursday.

Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school on these days.

Water Bottles

It is important that every child has a water bottle in school to maintain hydration levels. Please ensure the water bottle is filled with plain water, as sugary drinks like juice are not permitted.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed!
