Year 3

Welcome to the Year 3 home page. Thank you for stopping by.

In year 3 we have lots of exciting experiences to keep our students excited and enthralled in their learning.

So far this year we have been learning to play the recorder. We look forward to sharing what we have learned in December. We continue to develop our swimming skills once a week in our fabulous new pool. At the start of the year we focused our P.E lesson on running mechanics, we now turn our attention to netball and throwing with accuracy.

We continue to use The Good Morning Club (TGMC) to develop our emotional regulation with daily regulation check ins, calming, focus, connection and energise back packs. As part of Compass 4 Life we have explored short and long term goals. We have considered the decisions we need to make to achieve our goals and how to use a growth mindset. In PSHE we have discussed how to be a good friend.

In Maths, children have been focusing on  place value, developing their understanding of hundreds, tens, and ones, and learning how to use number lines to 1000. Next we will develop our knowledge of addition and subtraction. Our students have Times Table Rockstar accounts and Mathletics to practice their fluency outside of school.

Our topic this term is “The Stone Age”. Children will explore life in prehistoric times, looking at how early humans lived, their tools, and the development of communities.

In Literacy, children will be reading fiction books, including ‘Stone Age Boy’. They will explore story structure, characters, and setting, while developing their comprehension and writing skills. You can support this by reading a variety of fiction books together at home.
