Welcome to Year 3

 

Year 3a year 3b year3c

 

Welcome back! We are really excited to welcome the children to Year 3! We hope you have had a lovely summer break and that your children are looking forward to starting in Year 3 in September.

The Teachers in Year 3 this year are:

We hope you have had a restful summer and are ready to begin our exciting, Literacy themed topic “Fascinating Fairy Tales!”  During Term 1, children will be exploring a range of fairy tales and traditional stories through activities, such as drama, art and writing our own version of a story. We will be looking at the characteristics of fairy tales and traditional stories such as heroes and villains.
In Maths, we will be adding and subtracting numbers across ten and later in the term we will be looking at numbers to a 1000. In Science, we will be exploring Animals including humans, with a focus on nutrition, the digestive system and teeth. We will be exploring the artwork of Julian Opiein in Art/DT, with a focus of outlining character sketches of portraits.

Our Big Question this term is: How do we stay healthy?


Our Big Ideas are: Hope and good, keeping healthy, staying safe.

Every term we choose and learn about important role models, collaborators and thinkers. This
