C​lass Handbook

I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to take your child through the first stage of their Key Stage 2 journey. Miss Manders and I cannot wait to watch your child grow and have a fantastic time in Year 3.

Our carefully planned lessons are designed to meet the needs of every learner, helping them build on what they already know while encouraging them to explore new ideas and skills in fun and engaging ways.

In English, we’ll dive into a range of fantastic texts including Flat Stanley, The Nothing to See Here Hotel, The Bear and the Piano, and many more.

These stories will inspire our reading, writing, and creativity throughout the year. In Maths, we’ll be expanding our understanding of place value, multiplication, and fractions, with a big focus on learning to tell the time accurately. Daily times tables practice will help build fluency, especially as we prepare for future learning.

Our Science topics are packed with exciting investigations and hands-on activities. We’ll be exploring animals (including humans), rocks, forces, magnets, and light – all topics designed to spark your child’s natural curiosity about the world around them. Spelling will be given out every Tuesday, with tests taking place on Wednesdays. Children are expected to read at least five times a week and practise their times tables daily on TT Rockstars to help reinforce key skills.

PE will be held every Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure your child arrives at school in their PE kit on those days and keeps a PE bag with pumps on their peg at all times. 

We are going to have a busy, funfilled and developing year. Most importantly, please feel free to speak to me at any time about yours or your child's worries or anything you would like to share. I can’t wait to get to know all of you and to begin this fantastic journey through Year 3 together!
