Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

There are three teachers in Year 3 – Mrs Fletcher, Mrs Trembirth and Mr Gooch. Our teaching assistants are Ms Charles, Ms Haywood, Ms Simkins and Mrs Fasey. Our teaching assistants work across both classes at times so your child may be taught by any of these adults. On a Wednesday, our classes are taught by PPA teachers- Mrs Wardle and Mr Oliver.

Important notices

Every child should arrive at school on time and ready to learn. We will open our gates at 8:35am and children need to have arrived by 8:45am to ensure they do not receive a late mark in the register. The gates will shut promptly after 8:45am. Being on time each day will enable your children to receive the best of their learning opportunities.

The children will be doing P.E with Mr. Oliver each week on a Wednesday. Your child should come to school wearing their PE kit.

Please ensure you sign up to WEDUC at the start of the year as we do not want you to miss any important information.

Please contact the office if there are any changes with personal details e.g., new address or change to mobile phone numbers.

Please ensure that school uniform is labelled.

Reading and Homework Expectations

The children will have many opportunities to read and enjoy books throughout the week at school, especially in shared reading sessions and through listening to our class text. Children in Year 3 visit the school library each Friday where they can choose both fiction and non-fiction books.

We ask that children read at home as often as possible, ideally 10 minutes each day and that they record this in their reading diaries. Reading at home and discussing books with your child is a great way to build on and improve not only their reading fluency, but also their wider reading skills such as inference and comprehension. Regular readers who record it in their reading diary are rewarded with bronze stickers. 

Spellings are given out every Thursday and your child will be tested on these the following Wednesday.

Homework will be handed out each Thursday and will be due in the following Wednesday. Sometimes, homework will consist of projects which last a few weeks. We will inform you when this is the case.

Times Table Rockstars

Fluency in all the multiplication tables up to 12x12 is important for children in Key Stage 2. Many of the concepts covered in the Year 3 mathematics curriculum require children to be fluent in recalling their times tables facts. Due to government requirements, Year 3 children will complete a Times Tables assessment at the end of Year 4, so extra practice at this stage is vital to prepare your child in advance. 

Times Tables Rock Starts is a fantastic tool for your child to practise their skills. Once logged in to Times Tables Rock Stars, children can compete in ‘Battle of the Bands’ against the other Year 3 class, compete with their friends and children around the world. Your child’s log in details and password remain the same as last year. Just a quick 10-minute practice every day will have a huge impact on their development in this area. Children are rewarded for their efforts on TTRS and we are able to see where they have excelled and where they may need some additional support.

End of Year 3 Expectations

Here you will find information for parents and carers on the end of year expectations for children in our school. The staff have identified these expectations as being the minimum requirements your child must meet in order to ensure continued progress throughout the following year.

All the objectives will be worked on throughout the year and will be the focus of direct teaching. Any extra support you can provide in helping your children to achieve is greatly valued.

If you have any queries regarding the content on this page or want support in knowing how best to help your child please talk to your child’s teacher.
