Year 3: Mrs Batson 2024 - 2025
Mrs Batson
Hello, and welcome to Year 3!
I'm Mrs Batson and our Learning Support Assistant is Miss Boardman. Mrs Gargan will also be teaching science in our class on Tuesday and Mrs Tarbuck will be teaching geography on a Wednesday.
We hope the children are refereshed and ready after the Christmas break and excited for the new year ahead!
PE this half term will be on a Wednesday 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 book '|The Winter's Child'.
In Guided Reading we will be reading 'Stig of the Dump'.
In Maths we will be continuing our work on addition and subtraction.
In History we are finishing off our topic of Th Romans.
In Geography we will be comparing and contrasting different places within the UK.
In Science we will be looking at different rocks and their properties.
We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and continuing to develop our language skills in French.
In DT we will be making cupcakes!
We are very much looking forward to our new spring term!
Mrs Batson and Miss Boardman
