The Year 3 team remains the same:

• Class Teacher: Mrs Baker
• Class LSAs: Mrs Howarth & Mrs Bodi
• PPA cover:  Miss Pope (Wednesday Mornings)

Below, you’ll find a sample copy of our weekly timetable. While we aim to stick to it, occasional changes may happen.

Dragon and Rainbow maths will be tested every Friday, and you will be informed if your child needs to move on to the next sheet. 

PE takes place on Thursday’s & Friday’s.  The children have lockers to stow their belongings and should come to school in full uniform.

 Please ensure school dinners are booked in advance, wherever possible to avoid delays in the register in the morning.  We have early work from 8.40 for the children to complete, often recapping their learning from the day before, so being settled and on time is important.  

For our last term of Year 3 there are some exciting things planned.  The first half term will see us begin the topic of "Light and Shadows" in Science which will draw upon and extend the children's knowledge from year 2 on Different Materials. 

 In Geography we investigating Settlements - how and where they are established, how they change over time and then comparing a local settlement with a town in India. 

D&T will see us looking at seasonal foods (thinking about minimising air miles) to make a tart. 

In Music we are preparing to join forces with other school for the Wild Arts Festival, when 400 children from across the region come together to perform an "opera". 

We will be looking at Humanism in RE up to half term.

The second half of the term will give us the opportunity to revisit our settlement knowledge and apply it to local Roman settlements as we return to history, looking at The Roman Empire.  We will visit Colchester Castle Museum and examine the mosaics and artefacts on display. 

Art will see us producing a townscape and contributing to our new Arts Week.​   

We will revisit Fractions in maths to extend our understanding, as well as exploring perimeter and area. 

RE will cover Sikhism.

In PSHE we will be learning about First Aid and how we can help those in need.  

It promises to be a packed Term!

As always, we’re here to support you. Feel free to catch us at the classroom door before or after school for any quick queries. For more in-depth discussions, we’re happy to arrange a meeting.
