Welcome to Year 3!

Mrs Smith, Mrs Walker and Miss Young

I am very much looking forward to teaching Year 3, with the support of Mrs Walker and Miss Young.

This term, we are looking forward to immersing ourselves in our whole school topic, 'We Will Remember', in commemoration of the centenary of the end of the conflict of the First World War. In order to explore WW1 in an age appropriate way, we will begin by using the book ‘Where the Poppies Now Grow’, by Hilary Robinson and Martin Impey, the main theme of which is enduring friendship set against a changing landscape of innocence, war and then finally peace.  

Our autumn term topic web below outlines what we will be learning across all subjects. It is a working document which may be amended as our interests develop.

Our Maths focus, during the Autumn term, will be place value, followed by mental and written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Our first writing focus will be narrative which will include letter and diary writing. 

As a class, we will discuss and choose a range of activities to be included in our takeaway homework. This will follow shortly.

Our scheduled PE days are a Tuesday and Friday but we ask that you please ensure your labelled kit is in school throughout the week as we aspire to be as active as we can and some weeks these days may differ.

The children have now received their new reading diaries. Each child should bring their diary and current reading book to school every day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child at the end of the school day.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Mrs. Smith
