Year 3

Welcome to Silver Birch Class.

In Silver Birch Class, the class teacher is Miss Preston.

The teaching assistants are Mrs Butcher and Mrs Keen.

On a Monday afternoon, Mrs Harris will teach you for French and Computing.

Reminders:

On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons we have PE, so please come to school in your PE Kit.
With reading at home, please encourage your child try and read as much as you can. If possible, children should try and read for at least 40 minutes each week. 20 minutes could be read aloud to an adult at home. Missing minutes can be made up during the school week. Reading is the key to unlocking the rest of the curriculum and a priority for all of our children.
In Key Stage 2, the children walk themselves to their classrooms from the playground gates. There is always a member of staff there to greet you. If you have any messages or questions, please let them know or please go to the office. Teachers will be out at the end of the day to release the children, this is an opportunity to speak to the class teacher.

Here are some of the exciting things that we will be learning during your time in Year 3:

Looking at the Stone Age – a favourite topic of previous Year 3s! This is a cross-curricular topic.
We visit Butser Ancient Farm to deepen our knowledge of the Stone Age
We look at a variety of rich texts in English including: Stone Age Boy, The Iron Man and The Enchanted Wood.
We focus on knowing the 3s, 4s and 8 times tables.
We learn how to use a saw to create a wooden picture frame.
We create cave paintings.
We learn the skill of cross-hatch and slip to create clay buildings.
We look at the Romans – another favourite topic!
We visit Ufton Court to support our knowledge about the Romans.
We make authentic Roman bread.

We have so much fun in Year 3 and this is only a few things we do throughout the year!
