Year 3
Hello and welcome to our new Year 3 classes!
In Year 3 we are: Poplar class with Miss O’Malley (LKS2 Phase Leader) and Laurel class with Miss Kirton. We are helped by Miss Elboushi, Miss Glynn and Mrs Iqeel, and we are all delighted to be teaching your children this year and are very excited about all the new things we will be learning about!
We have a really busy term planned ahead, full of engaging and exciting topics to investigate, all linked to our termly picture: The Thames Below Westminster by Claude Monet. Through this picture we will be exploring London.
We have very high expectations of your children; as a team we are all dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to make the progress they are capable of.
Our value for September will be respect and your child will be encouraged and praised for demonstrating this across the school.

We have very high expectations of the children and look forward to getting to know them more. As a team, we are all dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to make the progress that they are capable of.
At this stage of the year, the children will be working on their times tables, place value and addition and subtraction in Maths. In English, the children will be looking at a range of narratives and non-chronological reports.
There is a KS2 Homework club held every Tuesday and Wednesday lunch time with Mrs Callaghan.

•Ensure homework is completed and handed in on a Wednesday.
•Practise times tables with your children at home, using the grid at the back of your child’s homework book
•Apply a variety of methods to help your child learn their weekly spellings using the list of activities stuck at the back of their Homework Book
•Ensure your child has the correct school uniform and PE Kit, with appropriate school shoes and trainers for PE.
