Welcome to Year 3
Autumn 2
In Science we will be looking at Food, linking with Fairtrade.
In Topic we will focus on chocolate and again linking this to Fairtrade.
Class motto: Year 3, it's up to me!
In Year three, the teachers are Mrs Hayes and Mrs Clucas. Mrs Hayes will teach every morning and Mrs Clucas every afternoon. They will be supported by Miss Gardner, Mrs Slater and Mrs Redman. Here is a little information about the two teachers.
Hello my name is Mrs Hayes and I am the Deputy Head here at St Paul's. I have two children, a boy and a girl and a dog called Joey. I love to read and take my dog for long walks in the park.
Hello my name is Mrs Clucas and I am the Assistant Head at St Paul's. I have two grown up boys who live in London and Liverpool and no pets. In my spare time I love to run and go horse riding.
We can't wait to meet you all and get started on our year three learning journey together.
The children are now in Key Stage 2 and have lots of new things to look forward to!

Please can parents sign reading records to show that you have heard your child read. It is really important that your child reads at home as it supports their on-going learning. As the year progresses, your child will change their reading band and the texts become more challenging!
Curriculum information
Please check the curriculum maps for each subject area for a more detailed overview of the Year 3 curriculum.
SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) begins in Year 3, which supports the children's reading and writing.
By the end of Year 3, the children are expected to know their 3x, 4x, 6x and 8x times tables as well on building on their secure times tables from Year 1 and Year 2. Times tables are on-going and we have a short test every Friday using 'Times Tables Rockstars'
