WELCOME TO YEAR 3
Our Year 3 class teachers are Miss Shahban (3S) and Miss Hill (3H). Our teaching assistants are Miss Amin and Mrs Sargeant.
As children start their journey through Key Stage 2, we encourage them to become independent, considerate learners and citizens.
We expect children, through nurture, to become responsible for their own learning and organisation. Inspiring children through challnege, we will embed a culture of positivity and a 'can do' attitude and guide them to resolve any issues themselves, where it is appropriate. By teaching children the skills of resilience, responsibility, co-operation and collaboration, we will equip children with a toolkit for life.
We aim to deliver a curriculum which encompasses all abilities and supports every child to make the most progress possible.
Our children will get hands on experience across the curriculum, ensuring that all learning is accessible so that everyone can get involved.
Year 3 will need their PE kit on _ & _.
MATHS OVERVIEW
Every maths lesson begins with a mental arithmetic starter, recapping previously taught content and daily skills.
The lessons are then taught in unit blocks, which build on one another.
Every unit has the opportunity for children to become fluent in a skill before applying their knowledge to a variety of problems and reasoning questions.
ENGLISH OVERVIEW
At the heart of our English planning, teaching and learning, we use high quality and age appropriate texts.
You can see some of the books for Year 3 here!
The teaching of grammar is explicit and contextualised to the book children are reading. Explicit teaching of reading comprehension is part of the teaching sequence and daily English lessons.
Children in Year 3 are taught to write complete compositions with increased independence. We aim to use modelled and shared teaching approaches throughout the teaching sequences to support all children's learning.
Spelling and handwriting are taught discreetly and are planned for as part of the lesson.

SCIENCE OVERVIEW
Every science lesson begins with a vocabulary starter, recapping previously taught content and scientific skills.
The lessons are then taught in unit blocks, which build on one another.
Every unit has the opportunity for children to build on and develop their abilities as a scientist.
TOPIC OVERVIEW
Year 3 have six topics that are based on an area of History or Geography. At the end of every half term, children also have an Art or DT unit based on their topic. Children will have the opportunity to learn new skills and knowledge across these subjects, building on them every year.
Children begin and end every learning challenge with a big question. The topic then unfolds as the children work to uncover the answer to the big question and ultimately create a final response to it such as a piece of writing, a project or art work.
Our topics in Year 3 are:
What Does a Map Reveal?
Who First Lived in Britain?
Ancient Egyptians: The World's Greatest Builders?
Where Does the River Rea Come From?
Which is the Best City to Visit in Europe?
Who Invented Writing?
