A Warm Welcome to Year 3!
This is the first stage of Key Stage 2. We believe that Year 3 is a fantastic year! Not only do we nurture our children’s thirst for knowledge through our enriching curriculum, but we also develop their independence so they are ready to thrive in KS2.
Classes and Staff
In our Year 3 cohort we have two classes, Moles and Beavers.
Moles: Miss Wild (Class Teacher), Miss Priestley (Support Staff)
Beavers: Miss Brown (Class Teacher), Miss Hall (Support Staff)
Our Ethos
In Year 3, we like to see all of our children being challenged to do their best through a supportive and positive approach. We work closely with the school’s Bee Rules and consistently reinforce these high expectations across the school day.
A Day in Year 3
We have an exciting and engaging curriculum, which sets high aspirations and standards, allowing children to be the best they can be. A typical morning in Year 3 consists of Maths, English and Reading lessons, where pupils learn skills that help them succeed in life.
Reading and Wider Curriculum
We read a range of exciting texts such as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Charlotte’s Web and The Abominables, exploring a variety of writing genres. Alongside this, subjects such as Science, Geography, Art and Design, DT, Computing, RE, Languages and PE are taught through engaging, enquiry-based questions so children can lead their own learning using the skills they have been taught. This approach is fostered through hands-on activities and purposeful tasks.
Rewards and Communication
During our learning, we work extremely hard to follow our Bee Rules, which help us earn Dojo points. As part of our school policy, we also work towards a class target to receive a class treat, chosen by the children. We keep parents up to date with all the fun we have throughout the year via our online platform, Class Dojo.
