The Year 3 Team

Year 3 Teacher: Miss Johnson

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Charles and Mrs Worthington

Welcome to Year 3.

This year you will be taught by Miss Johnson, Mrs Charles and Mrs Worthington. We are all looking forward to getting to know your children and yourselves over the coming year, and have so many exciting activities and plans lined up for this year that we can’t wait to dive in to! We hope you have all had a fantastic summer and are ready and eager to start Year 3 with us!

Reading Books and Pupil Planners: Reading books and planners must be brought to school each day. Please ensure your child reads frequently, even if you only have time to read one or two pages each night. Planners will be checked each Friday, with certificates and prizes given out to all children who read four to five times per week.

Please make a note in your child’s planner to show when your child has read (This can include reading plus). Children can write in their own planners in KS2 as long as a parent confirms this reading at least once per week. There are also a number of information and permission pages within the planner. Please read through all pages within the first week of school and sign them.

Snack: Fruit is not available once children enter KS2 so please send your child into school with a healthy snack if they are not going to purchase one from the kitchen. Toast and juice can be paid for on parent pay each term.

Outdoor Coat: Please ensure your child has a warm and waterproof coat suitable to wear during the day at breaktimes, dinnertimes and for any outdoor learning.

P.E. Kit: Please send PE kits into school at the start of each half term, with all items clearly labelled. These will be sent home at the end of each half term for a wash. Our indoor PE Kit consists of a plain white T-shirt, plain blue shorts and black pumps. For outdoor PE, children wear their plain white T-shirt, plain dark black or blue tracksuit bottoms and trainers. P.E will take place on a Tuesday afternoon.

Homework: Homework will be set on a Friday and should be completed for the following Friday. Homework will consist of a mixture of English, including reading and spelling, and Maths, which will include times table practise. All logins used for homework can be found in the back of your child’s planner.

We are really looking forward to working with you and your children in Year 3 and we are sure it will be an enjoyable and productive year! Our door is always open if you have any concerns or simply just want to have a chat. Please do not hesitate to ring the office to set up a meeting or write in your child’s diary.
