Year 3 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Year 3!

I am looking forward to teaching Year 3, alongside our teaching assistant Miss Tucker. 

Our whole school autumn term topic is 'Atlas of Adventures' and Year 3 will learning about Europe, focusing on Germany’s geography and how it inspired Grimm’s fairy tales. 

We will focus on Germany's geography and how it has influenced art and literature.  Amongst other activities, we will write diaries inspired by the text 'Into the Forest' by Anthony Browne, and we will link our learning in science to our topic, building shadow puppet theatres to perform fairy tales.

Have a look at our topic web for the term to see what we have planned. The topic web is a working document and can be amended as our interests develop, so if you can help us in our quest to give the children a Primary Education they will never forget, rich with diverse opportunities and experiences, please share your expertise and ideas with us.

As a class, we have discussed and chosen a range of activities to be included in our takeaway homework that support our topic.

Our scheduled PE days are a Wednesday and Friday, but we ask that you 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.

Please can you also ensure that the children have art shirts in school. An old, oversized T-shirt is perfect. We will be using acrylic paints, so it is important that the children’s clothes are well protected.

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 and Miss. Tucker
