All about the Year 3 team

In Year 3, our teachers are Mrs Chappell (Year 3 Team Leader), Miss Smith, Ms Thurley-Ratcliff and Mrs Bishop. We are also supported by our dedicated Learning Support Assistants (LSAs):  Mrs Hampton, Mrs Loyal, Ms Kirby, Miss Fisher and Ms Barton. They will support us during the day, in and out of the classroom.

PE in Year 3

Each week, the children will have two sessions of PE - one indoor session (Tuesday) and one outdoor session (Thursday). Children should come in to school wearing their PE kits on these days.  

Please follow the link below to find out more about our PE uniform expectations:

Home Learning

Each week, we will set home learning tasks for the children to complete. One will be a reading based activity on Purple Mash.  Maths home learning will be set on TTRockstars.

The children have also been given the list of Year 1/2 spelling or year 3/4 spellings. They need to choose 3 words each week to practise and at the end of the term, we will test them on words from the list.

All homework will be set on a Thursday and should be returned the following Tuesday.
