Seagulls Class - Year 3
Welcome to Seagull Class!
Miss Hobson, Mrs Turner and Mrs Barnes teach Seagull class. Our class page provides information regarding all things Seagull!
Year 3 is an exciting chapter as the children enter KS2! Which means that we have to set an excellent example following our school values of truth, love, forgiveness, courage and respect. We leave our carpet spots behind in Year 2 and start sitting at our tables with our trays, which means taking responsibility for our pencils, glue sticks, and scissors! Just like a Seagull we are going to soar through learning our times tables and recapping our number bonds to 10 and 20 throughout the year. Whilst learning some new incredible topics and reading amazing new books!
Reading
Reading for pleasure is an important part of Year 3 that we incorporate into our reading sessions and English lessons. However, it is crucial that we are reading at home and we are reading at least 20 minutes a week. We need to read our book twice with an adult at home, and then we can complete our AR quiz and answer comprehension questions. AR logins will be shared and added to their reading record. All reading needs to be logged in the child’s reading record so that they can quiz after two reads.
Maths
In Year 3 we will be learning the 3, 4 and 8 times table whilst also recapping the 2, 5, and 10 times table. Children are expected to learn and recall multiplication and division facts for these tables. They will also continue to develop their understanding of addition, subtraction, and other areas of the mathematics curriculum.
As learning our times tables is a huge focus for Year 1 to build that foundation to support with mathematics curriculum. Games like hit the button and timestables can be played at home to encourage learning their 2, 4, 5, 8, and 10 times tables.
Please see links at the bottom of the page for these games.
PE
We have PE on Monday afternoon and Forest School on Friday morning. Please can all children come into school in the correct PE kit.
Spellings
Spellings will be posted on Dojo every Friday for the spelling check for the following Friday. There is an expectation for children to learn their spellings at home as these are Year 3 common exception words.
Dojo
Parents will receive regular updates through Dojo. Spellings will be added every Friday with an overview message of the week and if there are any changes regarding PE days parents will be notified through Dojo.
