Download our curriculum map below. Each topic is taught through a key text. We ensure that throughout each term there are exciting experiences to engage the children in their topics.
Take a look at the key texts and supporting texts we will be studying throughout the year. These texts are used to facilitate engaging English lessons, reading lessons and of course, promote reading for pleasure!
In year 3 we take great pleasure in providing amazing educational experiences for our pupils.
Some of the educational trips we have this year include Cresswell Crags and the Peak District. Keep checking back for photos of our exciting learning experiences.
Reading with your child for 10/15 minutes a day is imperative in ensuring they build fluency and understanding. It stimulates their imagination as well as expanding their understanding of the world. Your child will be sent home with two reading books: a Phonics / AR reading book and a reading for pleasure book. Please ensure your child brings their book to school with them each day.
As well as this, termly homework projects and weekly maths and English homework is set on Seesaw. Please encourage your child to complete their homework weekly as this helps to reinforce what they are learning at school.
Each child has a Seesaw login. This is stuck at the front of the reading diary.
Your child also has a Times Table Rock Stars login and a Sumdog login. These are fun and engaging maths programs designed to develop your child’s mental maths skills.
During the first week of each half term, we send out the link to our year group newsletter. Here you will find important information for the upcoming term, including important dates for your diary, curriculum information, useful links and photos of the children’s learning.
If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
