Year 3: Miss Howard 2023 - 2024

Hello, and welcome to Year 3!

I'm Miss Howard and our Learning Support Assistants are Mrs Christian and Miss Farrell.  Mrs Gargan will also be teaching geography and RE in our class on a Tuesday morning.

PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday so please ensure PE kits are in for those days. We will keep the kits in school and send home for washing at the end of each half term.

There will be two sets of reading books this year, a colour banded book and a reading for pleasure book. These will be changed once a week when planners have been signed.

In Key Stage Two homework will be set as a grid, with the children expected to complete one question a week from the grid. We also expect children to have read 3 times a week, practiced TT Rockstars and their spellings. Reading at home will be monitored weekly.

Spellings will be sent home on Mondays and put on our class page and there will be an informal spelling test in class on Fridays.

We have lots of interesting learning coming up this half term.

In English we will be completing some writing based on the books 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' and 'The Twits'.

In Guided Reading we will be reading 'The Spider and the Fly'.

In Maths we will be continuing our work on place value and exploring calculation strategies.

In History we are going to be learning about the Vikings.

In Geography we will be exploring Italy.

We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and with our Art week where we will be using the work of Frank Gehry as our inspiration.

Year 3 will also be learning French this year which is brand new for us. 

We are so excited and eager for our new learning this half term.

Miss Howard, Mrs Christian and Miss Farrell
