Year 3

Year 3 is taught by Miss Smith

Year 3 is a significant transitional year, so we recognise how important it is to support that journey from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. We prepare the children to acquire more independent and efficient strategies, whilst allowing them plenty of opportunities for practical and hands-on learning too.

Each day, our morning timetable follows the same routine. We have our English lesson, followed by SPAG or Phonics (SPAG Spelling Punctuation and Grammar). After break, we move on to Maths. Our afternoons begin with The Teaching of Reading lesson and are then focused on the foundation subjects: History, Geography, Art and D.T., Science, Music and Computing. This year, the whole class learned how to play the ukulele! We also have a weekly visit to the library,weekly karate and of course a fantastic session with Pure Nature Learning.

In Year 3 pupils are able to work towards earning a handwriting pen. They can achieve this by writing with consistently joined cursive handwriting for two weeks.
