Welcome to Year 3

Class teacher: Mrs Redmayne

Monday teacher:  Mrs Ventress

In class support: Mrs Joel, Miss Barnes

We would like to welcome your son or daughter into Year 3.  Year 3 is the first class in Key Stage 2 so can seem like a big change for the children, but our aim is to make the transition from infants to juniors as smooth as possible.  We want all the children to feel secure, confident and ready to learn.

Some of the highlights in Year 3 include graffiti art (always a favourite!), designing and making sandwiches, exploring prehistoric communities from the Stone Age, learning about mummification in Ancient Egypt, playing the glockenspiel, making pneumatic toys and, later in the year, swimming at Lancaster university.  We will also enjoy sharing class novels at the end of the school day.

It should be a busy and fun time! We will support and guide the children throughout the year to become more self reliant and independent and hopefully to develop a love of learning.

Please use the drop-down menu on the left-hand side to find our class blog. It contains lots of information about what has been happening in Year 3 (and you can also enjoy looking back at their previous year groups to see how much they have changed, learnt and grown!).

In each of the sections below, you will find information about what we are learning each term. Please note that updates will be added as each new term begins. We have left last year's information on at the moment to give you a flavour of what might be ahead!
