This is an exciting time as the children begin their journey into Key Stage 2! 

Mrs Linfield and Mrs Donnelly teach in Year 3 all week, with Mrs Proud teaching on a Wednesday morning. We also have the support of Mrs Ward throughout the week.

This Autumn term, the children will continue to build on their mathematical skills and develop efficient strategies for calculating mentally and they will take a deep dive into ‘Place Value’ – looking at the value of numbers; hundreds, tens and ones from 0 – 1000! We will also be working hard to develop our multiplication skills, in particular our rapid recall of multiplication facts – for x 2, x 3, x 4, x 5 and x 6. We also encourage children to access Numbots and Rockstars regularly to develop their arithmetic skills. 

We have some exciting texts to study in English, beginning with a poetry unit on Kennings, before we move on to The Tear Thief. We will practise our handwriting daily, to develop our joined up handwriting writing skills. 

See our long term curriculum plan to discover what other exciting units we are covering this term.

Our PE days are on a Monday and a Wednesday.  Please make sure you have comfortable trainers. 

Reading books must be read and signed at least three separate times per week. Please remember to read daily with your child at home and read for pleasure also!

We look forward to working with the children this year as they mature and develop their skills and talents in Lower Key Stage 2!
