Key Dates

Meet the teacher 

On Tuesday 20th September at 6pm, there will be an online ‘Meet the Teacher’ session where we will chat about what is coming up this year and everything you need to know about what happens in Year 3. We will send log in details nearer the time. 

Share your learning session 

On Wednesday 12th October at 9am, you are invited to come into school to look at your child’s books and see the activities they have been doing in class.  

Parent Evenings 

The autumn parent evenings will take place during the week beginning the 17th October.  More information on how to sign up for these will be given out nearer the time.  

PE 

3C - every Wednesday

3G - every Friday

In Year 3, the PE days will be a Wednesday for 3C and Friday for 3G; we would appreciate it if your child can come to school in their PE kit- they will not need to bring their uniform to change into. PE kit is black/ navy shorts, a plain white t-shirt and trainers. As the children will be doing most PE lessons outside- weather permitting of course- joggers/ leggings and a long sleeve top would be appropriate as the weather starts to change. 

Outdoor Learning 

This year, all Year 3 children will be taking part in Outdoor Learning. 

3C will be taking part in these sessions during the first half of the autumn term and then 3G in the second half of the autumn term; these sessions will take place on a Friday afternoon in all weather. Therefore, for the first half of the autumn term, 3C, will need to come to school every Friday in suitable clothing that you do not mind if they get dirty. These will need to include a waterproof coat, long sleeved top, long trousers and sensible shoes (no open toes).  

Homework

We would like the children to read their banded reading book at least three times a week. They can change their reading book whenever they are ready for a new one. Every Friday we ask the children to hand in their reading record books. Reading for pleasure and enjoyment is something that we will continue to encourage; any reading completed can be written in their reading record book. 

In Year 3 we focus on the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. We also recap and practise the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

The following is a list of spellings that the children will be learning whilst they are in Year 3 and 4.  You could support your child by helping them to read and write these words.
