Welcome to Year 3

 Class teacher:  Miss Mahmood

Support Teacher: Mrs Russell

About Our Class:

This year in Year 3 is all about building skills, confidence, and independence in a fun and energetic way. As we make the exciting transition into Key Stage 2, we are learning how to challenge ourselves, take responsibility for our learning, and grow as enthusiastic, curious learners.

In Year 3, teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. We enjoy working together to achieve our goals, sharing ideas, and supporting one another to reach our full potential. Every child is encouraged to take pride in their thoughts and contributions, developing the confidence to express themselves and explore new ways of thinking.

We are also focusing on becoming more independent learners, building resilience and perseverance along the way. We know that mistakes are simply steps towards improvement, and every challenge helps us to grow stronger and more capable.

Beyond the classroom, we aim to make a positive impact both in our school and within the wider community. Whether it is through exciting projects, creative activities, or collaborative learning experiences, Year 3 is a place where every child can shine, explore their potential, and feel proud of their achievements.

We can’t wait to share all the fun, learning, and adventures that this year will bring!

PE information: 

Our school P.E. days are Wednesday and Thursdays. Children need to wear their P.E. kits to school on that day. 

Homework Information: 

In Key Stage 2 (KS2), we will send home six project-based tasks linked to the curriculum. This topic homework can be completed at your own pace and submitted upon completion or during the last week of the half term. To encourage participation, students can earn certificates based on the number of tasks they complete: 2 pieces for a Bronze Certificate, 4 for a Silver Certificate and 6 for a Gold Certificate. All certificates will be awarded in class during the final week of the half term.

In addition to the project tasks, children are expected to read regularly at home, at least three times a week, practice their times tables weekly using Times Table Rock Stars, and finally, practice their weekly spellings.
