Welcome to our Year 3 class page! We’re excited to begin a new term filled with **curiosity, creativity, and learning**. Year 3 is a wonderful time for children to grow in independence, explore new ideas, and build on the strong foundations laid in Key Stage 1. In our classroom, **MIss Wise, Miss Fletcher and Mrs Bevan** work together to create a **safe, supportive, and inspiring space** where every child is encouraged to try their best, ask questions, and enjoy the journey of learning. ### What We’re Learning This year, our curriculum is packed with exciting topics that spark imagination and deepen understanding: - **Local History Inquiry:** We explore the fascinating world of **Victorian mills**, learning how they shaped our community and the lives of people in the past. - **English:** Children write persuasive letters around the theme of **climate change**, developing their voice as courageous advocates and learning how writing can make a difference. - **Geography:** We carry out a detailed **study of the Lake District**, discovering its landscapes, wildlife, and importance as a national park. ### PE Information - **PE lessons take place every Tuesday and Friday** - Children must have a **full PE kit** in school at all times, especially if they attend **after-school sports clubs**. - Please ensure all items are **clearly labelled**. ### Reading Race Reading is a key part of our daily routine. Here’s how we encourage and celebrate it: - Children should **bring their home reading book to school every day**. - We check books daily and add a point to the **Reading Race** each time they read. - Rewards: - **Bronze badge** for 25 reads - **Silver badge** for 75 reads - **Gold badge** for 175 reads Let’s make reading a joyful habit! ### Homework & Online Learning Children are expected to: - **Read for 10 minutes daily** - Practise times tables using: - **Times Tables Rock Stars** - **Purple Mash** Log-in details are in your child’s **reading record**.
