Year 3

The children’s learning is based around curriculum maps that have been carefully considered for each topic ensuring the children have access to a rich and varied curriculum.  This will provide them with the skills and knowledge they require to help them to progress through their educational journey. The children will also have the opportunity to go on trips and visits, as well as welcoming visitors into school to help to enhance their learning experience further.

In Year 3, the children learn how to be more self-sufficient and practice skills to encourage them to be independent learners for example, accessing the Internet, using books for research and having access to dictionaries to check their own spellings. They are encouraged to solve problems for themselves and rely less on support for day to day tasks.

Presentation and handwriting are very important and as the children move into the juniors, they will learn how important it is to present their work well.  Children can earn a pen licence, which is a wonderful accolade and great celebration of the child’s effort to present their work to the best of their ability. However, this can only be achieved once they are able to join their writing and present all their work neatly.

The children learn in a bright and stimulating environment which is full of learning resources.  They are encouraged to use the resources independently to help them with their learning.

Important things to remember: -

• We do PE on a Monday and a Tuesday.  Please ensure that full indoor and outdoor PE kits are always in school on a Monday.
• We have Music lessons every Friday.  Recorders will be needed during Spring Term. 
• Homework is set on a Friday so please check your child's homework bag. If you could kindly help your child to practise their spellings ready to their weekly spelling quiz on a Friday.
• Reading books are changed every Thursday and library books every Friday.  Please can you ensure that your child reads their book at home at least three times a week.  They need to bring their book in everyday for them to read in school.
• Please send a full fresh water bottle into school for your child to access throughout the day and fruit and a healthy snack for break times.
