Year 3

Welcome to our Year 3 class page!

This year, Year 3 will be taught by Mr Ridgway and supported by Mr Shove. If you have any concerns or information which you wish to share with me, I am usually available every morning before school from 8.30 am or most afternoons straight after school when you collect your child.

Autumn Term

We have a busy and fun year ahead of us in Year 3, with lots of exciting topics to look forward to. In our first Geography topic we will be looking at the continent of Europe and looking specifically at Italy. During this topic, we will be learning all about the different countries in Europe, locating Italy on a map using atlases and Google Earth, learning about the physical features in Italy including mountains and rivers, looking at famous Italian landmarks, learning all about the Italian culture and comparing a region in the UK with a region in Italy.

In our Science lessons, we will be looking at Lights and Shadows. We will be learning about light and dark, identifying different light sources and understanding how shadows are formed and how they change throughout the day.

Seesaw and Dojo

We will be using Seesaw, which is the class blog and Dojo team points, which is used to see how many Dojo points your child receives in class each day. You will be able to get an insight into all the exciting activities your children have been doing in school.
