Welcome to Year 3

Year 3 is the first year in Key Stage 2. Our Year 3 children are based on the Bourges Boulevard site. This is an important year as children apply their learning from Key Stage 1 in different contexts, whilst learning lots of new and exciting knowledge.

Children in Year 3 are 7 and 8 years old.

In Year 3 there are 3 classes:

3T - Mrs Turner

3W - Mr Whybrow

Children are taught in groups for Power Maths and Power English; these groups may change depending on your child's achievements and next step in learning. Children stay with their class teacher for other curriculum subjects.

Physical Education

Children have two P.E. lessons per week and need to have a change of clothing to put on during these lessons. In a named bag they should have:

A T- shirt (and a sweatshirt in the winter)
Shorts or jogging bottoms
Trainers

We advise that children keep their P.E. clothes in school all week as sometimes we have to change the day of the lesson. Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday.

Tests and Examinations

Reading is a very important skill and we encourage the children to read as much as possible. Here is a tip from Stephen Fry on a quick and easy way to further the opportunities your child has to read.
