Welcome to Year Three!
In Year Three our teacher is Miss Rogers.
The Patron Saint of our class is Saint David or Dewi Sant. We celebrate our Saint’s day on March 1st. Please see the newsletters below and the school calendar for further important dates.
Every child should bring to school every day:
- Home Contact Book and reading scheme book
- Warm Coat
- Smart uniform – named
- Named fresh water bottle
- Healthy snack
And a big smile!
R.E.
R.E. is our most important subject and is at the core of our curriculum. We do 2 hours of R.E. every week, a child led liturgy every week and four other sessions of collective worship including Mass or celebration every Thursday.
Physical Education
Monday and Tuesday are our PE days. On these days,
your child can come to school in their PE Kit:
- A plain t shirt (white or black)
- Dark shorts or trousers
- A pair of trainers
- A plain dark sports top or sweatshirt
We aim to have our PE lessons outside as much as possible, weather permitting, so during the colder months your child may need tracksuit bottoms and a long sleeved top.
Maths
We learn all about place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division. The children learn both mental and written methods to work out the answers. We practice our times tables and this term we learn 3’s and 4’s and revision of 5’s and 10’s.
There will be opportunities for us to explore new mathematical concepts. We will also be applying our skills by solving a range of reasoning and problem solving tasks.
English
Each term we prepare at least 4 pieces of assessed writing. These are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction such as stories, letters, reports and many more. The children have regular grammar lessons, handwriting sessions and a weekly spelling test, which takes place every Wednesday.
The children have a reading record and we ask them and parents to sign it so that we can monitor their reading. In addition, we have Guided Reading in smaller groups every week and those children who require extra support have extra sessions.
Our writing includes: a seasonal setting description, a newspaper report, a conversation between two people, creative writing and a non-chronological report. We also look at and study poetry.
Homework
Each half term your child will receive a Homework letter with details of extra activities and projects to further their learning. We also expect the children to read to an adult every night and practise their times tables.
