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 Geography in our class on a Tuesday morning and Mrs Tarbuck will be teaching science on a Wednesday morning. For this term, Miss Walsh, our student teacher, will also be assisting with your child's learning.
We hope the children are refreshed and ready after their break and onto their final term in Year 3!
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 finishing off the book Stone Age Boy and beginning Big Blue Whale.
In Guided Reading we will be reading Earth Heroes and How I Met A Whale.
In Maths we will be continuing our work on fractions.
In History we will be continuing with our topic of Ancient Greece.
In Geography we will be learning all about human features.
In Science we will be investigating light.
We will of course be practicing our creative skills in our music lessons and continuing to develop our language skills in French.
We are very much looking forward to a jam packed and hopefully sunny summer term!
Mrs Batson and Miss Boardman
