Welcome to Year 3!

Our team is made up of Mrs Hornsby (class teacher), Mrs Clarke (TA), Mrs Nuttall (SSA), Mr Hargreaves (SSA) as well as Mrs Simpson (reading volunteer). 

We are really excited for all the learning opportunities the children will have over the next year and we can not wait to share our journey with you!

On this page, you will find our curriculum map for the year, weekly spellings, suggestions for home learning experiences as well as updated photographs of some of the super learning that goes on. 

Class information

Outdoor Learning: This will be on Tuesdays this half term. The children are to come in suitable outdoor clothing with a change of shoes and socks on this day.

Reading: The children will be have the opportunity to have their reading book changed whenever they are ready. Our reading volunteer, Mrs Simpson will hear the children read on Tuesdays and Thursdays when she will set reading homework for the children to do. Please know that the children can read more if they like, this is just the minimum requirement expected. The children are to bring their reading book into school daily, signed by an adult at home. Any child that has their book signed three times weekly will be given a raffle ticket and has the chance of winning a prize at the end of the week. 

In Art and Design, the children have been looking at how to build their own structures from card to create sculptures. They had to think how they could make their pieces of 2D card become 3D shapes, that stood by themselves. They also looked at different ways of joining pieces together without using glue or tape. They worked together to create their designs. 

The children loved the opportunity to dress up as their favourite film and book characters for Book Day this week. They took part in book related activities during the day, including working together to make shadow puppet theatres and performing, which also fitted in really well with the Science we are doing on Light and Shadows at the moment. They also enjoyed meeting Paul Jenkins, who took the time to not only perform some of his poems with the class but also write a brand new poem with them... inspired by the various book characters!

This half term in History, the children have been learning all about the Anglo Saxons. Here is a taste of what the children have been doing...
