    Our Year 3 Curriculum


    Welcome to Year 3!  

    This is such an exciting time as children move into KS2 and start to explore the curriculum with greater confidence. We begin the year with a topic on Celebrations but continue this theme throughout Year 3 as there is so much to celebrate while students increase their independence and resilience. Look out for beautiful joined handwriting and wonderful vocabulary in writing and a mastery of basic arithmetic in maths!

    For more information about Year 3 topics, please click on the term links to the right.

    PE is on Tuesdays (gymnastics and dance), Thursdays (games) and swimming is on Mondays.
    • Year 3 Meadgate Reading revised list
    • Weekly Parent Reading

      This will take place each Wednesday morning. If you are able to, please head up the external stairs and into the Year 3 classroom at morning drop off time (from 8.35am) to hear your child read in the classroom. Please do not worry if you are unable to attend: all children will have the opportunity to read and share books, but if you can come along, we shall look forward to seeing you! 

    Please click on the link below to take you to the Parent Information Presentation to welcome you to Year 3.

     

    Year 3 Spelling

    Your child will have a list of spellings to learn, having been assessed at the beginning of the year. These are personalised so do not be concerned if your child's sheet is different from a friend's. As soon as they are able to spell some of these words, send your child back into school with their sheet so we can do a quick check. Then we will move them on to their next lot of spellings. Thank you for your support! See the attached letter below the Welcome to Year 3 presentation for for further information.
