Welcome to Year 3

Important Information:

Homework is due in every Friday. Homework will usually consist of spellings, timetables practice, and either a SPaG or a Maths worksheet.

There will be a spelling test and a timetables test every Friday.

PE is on a Thursday but we advise you to bring your PE kits in on a Monday as we may do PE more than once a week. 

Make sure you read at least 3 times a week in order to improve your reading skills and win prizes, dojos and certificates! Reading records will be collected and checked at the end of every week but make sure you bring your reading book and reading record to school every day.

Thank you 

Mrs Ascroft and Mrs Singh

Below, are photos of our learning so far. On topic day, we enjoyed decorating the classroom with cave paintings and took inspiration from the book, Stone Age Boy and built a wigwam and built racks to dry out meat and fish.

Science - Rocks

Year 3 are enjoying their Science topic of rocks. We have been learning about how they are formed as well as grouping and testing them. See the photos below.
