Welcome to Class 7!
The children have settled into Year 3 beautifully. Their enthusiasm, curiosity, and positive attitude have made the start of term a real joy. Our Class Teacher this year is Miss Huntley and Miss Van Niekerk will be our teaching assistant. We’re confident this will be a year full of growth, discovery, and excitement.
This term in English, Year 3 will be diving into our much-loved Curious Quests, which continue to spark imagination and enthusiasm across the classroom. We’re also excited to explore our class novel, The Puffin Keeper by Michael Morpurgo, which will help us strengthen our listening and comprehension skills through shared reading and discussion.
This term in Year 3 Maths, we’ll be exploring place value, practising the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), investigating 2D shapes, and learning how to use tally charts and tables to organise data. We’re excited to build confidence and curiosity in numeracy through hands-on activities and problem-solving challenges.
This term in Year 3, we’re diving into the fascinating world of plants and exploring how living things move and grow. Children will investigate what plants need to thrive, learn about their life cycles, and observe how they change over time. We’ll also be looking at how humans and animals grow and move, linking science with real-life experiences.
This term, children will be learning about the Christian creation story and exploring what it means to follow God, reflecting on key beliefs, values, and how faith can guide everyday life.
This term in Computing, Year 3 children will be exploring key digital skills including e-safety, where they’ll learn how to stay safe and make smart choices online. They’ll also participate in the topic of computer systems and networks, gaining a better understanding of how devices connect and communicate. To spark creativity, pupils will be introduced to stop motion animations.
This term, children will be discovering the wonders of rainforests in Geography, exploring their unique ecosystems and global importance. In History, they’ll be investigating how Stockton and Teesside have changed over time.
In Design and Technology, children will be learning how to use a 3D printer, bringing their own designs to life while developing practical skills in digital fabrication. In Art, they’ll explore the vibrant jungle scenes of Henri Rousseau and study masks from different cultures, gaining insight into artistic traditions and symbolism from around the world.
Our PSHE units this term, will focus on exploring friendships and developing children’s awareness of keeping safe at school and in the home.
This Year the children in Year 3 will be participating in a broad range of PE opportunities, including swimming lessons, football, tennis and hockey. Our PE day this term will be Mondays. Get ready to make a splash—Class 7 will be diving into their swimming lessons every Tuesday!
Homework Update: Maths homework (My Maths) and Spelling Shed tasks will be set every Friday. Please encourage your child to read their school reading book regularly and record their reading in their reading record. Thank you for your continued support.
