Year 3 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Year 3

Mr Solan teaches full time in one year 3 class while in the other class, Mrs Wharton teaches Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Kenyon teaches on Thursday and Friday.  Our teaching assistants are Mrs Macaulay and Mrs Miller. 

Our topic this term is 'Our Wonderful World'.

Please look at our Autumn term topic web to see what we will be learning about. 

English

This term our texts are Seal Surfer by Michael Foreman and Winter's Child by Angela McAllister. 

Mrs Wharton's library time is on a Wednesday afternoon.  Each pupil will be able to borrow a library book which will need to be renewed or returned the following week.

Numeracy

This term we will focus on place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. 

At home, we would like children to focus on learning their 3, 4 and 8 times tables.  We would encourage them to learn the multiplication and division facts for each table so they will have them at their fingertips! We would also like the children to develop their confidence when adding and subtracting larger numbers. 

Physical Education 

Each child will need a PE kit which should consist of shorts/jogging bottoms, a t-shirt, trainers for outdoor use and pumps for indoor use.  Due to changes in the timetable, we would kindly ask the PE kit to remain in school from Monday to Friday to ensure it is always available for these sessions. This half term our PE focus is on gymnastics and related skills.

Mr Solan's PE days are Tuesday (indoors) and Friday (outdoors)

Mrs Wharton and Mrs Kenyon's PE days are Tuesday (Indoors) and Thursday (Outdoors).

Homework

Every child is required to spend some time each week on the Spellodrome website.

We put a strong emphasis on reading and pupils are encouraged to read independently, or to an adult who can then sign their reading diary.  If pupils read 5 times in a one week period, they are entered in to our regular readers raffle at the end of the week.  Look out for our regular readers board when you visit the classroom!
