Year 3 2022 - 2023

On this page you will find information about Summer Term in Year 3.

Our teaching assistant is Mrs Wrigley and Mrs Calderbank will be working in our class as a teacher, too. 

In History we will be learning about Ancient Egypt.

Our Science learning will be about Light and Plants. 

In Maths we will learn about fractions, money, time, shape and statistics. Each morning we complete morning work on our K.I.R.F. (Key Instant Recall Fact).

We will continue to learn to decode and spell through First Class Phonics lessons which will be really familiar from Year 2! There will be daily guided reading sessions and we encourage you to read at least a couple of pages of your home reading book each evening with your adult at home, please make sure you bring your reading book and reading record into school each day, too. Our class novel this term is Secrets of a Sun King by Emma Carroll.

In English we will be reading the book Grandpa Chatterji and generating responses about what we have read.

In R.E. our work will focus on Our Parish Church and Being a Christian. This is such an exciting year for those of you who will be participating in the Sacramental Programme, as well as your friends in class who will support you along the way. We are looking forward to the children making their First Holy Communion on Saturday 13th May at 9:30 at St Paul's Church.

P.E. days will be Monday and Thursdays.

Homework will be sent out on Friday's and returned on Wednesday the following week to be marked. Homework will consist of spellings, a piece of English or Topic related work. There will be a work to complete on Times Tables Rock Stars as well as a piece of Maths homework.

There is plenty more information about the curriculum on our year group curriculum page http://www.st-pauls-hyde.tameside.sch.uk/page/year-3/19406 

We are here to support you and your families; I am always available at the end of the day for a quick word or happy to make an appointment for a longer chat at a convenient time.
