Year 3 2025 – 2026

Welcome to Year 3

Welcome to our Year 3 page. This term our topic is The Bronze Age and The Iron Age. The children will learn about many aspects of these periods of time, including how bronze and iron replaced stone and the settlements they lived in. To support our leaning in this topic we will be visiting Tatton Park to take part in a Stone Age to Iron Age experience. In English and geography, we will be learning about volcanoes and earthquakes and our writing will be based on these topics. Our science topic this term is plants and the children will be learning about the different parts of plants and what plants need to grow. In RE, the children will be learning about the different aspects of Islam and we will be visiting a mosque as part of this unit of work.

The Year 3 class author this year is Roald Dahl and, currently, class 8 are thoroughly enjoying reading The Twits during story time.

Thanks

Year 3 team

 

Homework is given out each week on a Friday and is due in the following Tuesday.

Please encourage your child to read at home at least 4 times a week and record this in their reading diaries. This can be to a grown up, a sibling, a favourite teddy or aloud to themselves. Following along to an audio book is also a great way of improving intonation and expression, whilst adding to their vocabulary. It is important to also read for pleasure and this may mean that your child asks you, as a parent, to read to them so that they are able to access books of interest that are above their reading age. 

You will find passwords for Purple Mash and Timestable Rockstars in your childs reading diary. Class 7 and 8 are in competition! 

PE kits should remain in school for the half term and should include pumps and trainers (for outdoor sports). PE day is on a Friday every week. If your child has an ear piercing, then earrings need to be removed at home.

Please send PE kits into school at the start of each half term. This will be sent home for washing at the end of each half term.

A PE kit should include:

* Blue or white plain t-shirt (no football shirts)

* Blue shorts

* Tracksuit bottoms/jogging bottoms or leggings

* Jumper/jacket  

* Trainers suitable for outdoor use 

Please can you make sure all PE kit items are named. 

 

 

Homework is given out once on a Friday and needs to be handed in the following Tuesday.
