Year 3

Welcome to Year 3, the start of Key Stage 2 and a wonderful time for children to strengthen their sense of love, courage, and friendship. As they take on new responsibilities and explore exciting topics, we help them become more independent and reflective learners. Children are encouraged to show courage in their learning, kindness in their relationships, and friendship in the way they work and play together. Our classrooms are welcoming spaces where everyone belongs.

Useful Information

Reading books

Please make sure reading books and records are in school EVERY day as children read to an adult throughout the week and this will be recorded in their reading diaries. Children have the opportunity to change their reading books on a Friday

PE

Most weeks, PE will take place on a Monday and Thursday. However, timetables may be changed or re-arranged so please ensure your child’s PE kit is in school each day just incase we find time for an extra session.

 PE Kit should include:

• Black shorts or tracksuit bottoms
• Plain white t-shirt or house colour t-shirt
• Plimsolls/trainers

Earrings need to be removed for PE (at home please), but if this is not possible please cover them with tape until they can be removed. Long hair also needs to be tied up.

Home learning

Each half term, the children will be sent home a selection of home learning linked to their project in school. We would like you to encourage your child in completing the Must Do Activities. You may also choose to encourage your child in challenging themselves and completing other activities suggested on the home learning sheet.
