Year 3 Classes – J1– Mrs Davies/ Miss Harwood
J2– Miss Woolls
We hope you have all had a lovely summer and we would like to welcome your son/ daughter into year 3. We are sure that he/ she will have an enjoyable year ahead. We would like to take this opportunity to explain some important information at the start of the year.
Our topic this half term is Disaster Zone.
This topic has a geography focus and teaches children about the causes and impact of natural disasters involving water, flooding and erosion and the environmental factors which cause them. During this topic the children will write reports using factual data . In addition children develop skills to write leaflets and present findings from tests and investigations using scientific and geographical language. If you have any resources related to this subject, please feel free to bring them in.
Reading
Your child has been given a reading book and a reading record. Your child will be reading with the teacher every week, one week individually and the other week as part of a guided group reading session. Please could you encourage your child to bring the record, and their book on their reading day. We encourage each pupil to read at home on a daily basis for at least 15 minutes. Please update your child’s reading diary weekly and they then will be able to change their book.

In year 3 we also encourage the children to learn their times tables and the spellings given as this will assist them in Literacy and Numeracy lessons.
