Welcome to Year 3
The class teacher is Ms. Tapfield and the teaching assistant is Mr Priestley warmly welcome you to an exciting year of learning. Year 3 is certainly action packed but we strive to make learning inspiring and enjoyable for all as they continue their learning journey into key stage two.
As part of our Catholic ethos, the children live, love and learn in the Light of Christ by following the Christian values. This creates a nurturing school environment where children can thrive in their learning.
Math’s now leads onto even greater numbers as the children learn about place value up to 1000 and begin to explore formal written methods. They also start to cover more times tables, adding in the 4x and 8x. They continue to develop their reasoning and problem solving skills and application.
In English, children begin to develop their sentence structure and broaden their punctuation skills. They develop their reading skills too, using our VIPER questions for comprehension and developing their fluency with longer texts.
Science is still investigative and the class have great fun exploring magnets, forces, plants and more and in R.E. the pupils begin to give reasons for why Christians believe in something and become scripture detectives.
As well as continuing with the other foundation subjects, the children also begin to learn French.
