Year 3

Welcome to the Year 3 class page

We are hoping you had a lovely Easter break and are ready to start a very exciting half term with lots of new and fun learning opportunities. As always, we can’t wait to get started!

Year 3 will be taught by Mrs Flint and Mr Shove will be supporting the learning through the week too. Mrs Sowler will continue to work with Year 3 on a Friday.

We are starting this half term by being geographers and our learning will focus on our local area of Mossley. We’ll locate Mossley on a map and we will find out more about the area we live in. We will get out into the local area to explore it and identify the human and physical features of our locality. At the end of the unit, we’ll apply all of this knowledge to create our own map of the local area.

Alongside this geographical unit of work, Year 3 will also be learning about ‘Plants’ in science. We’ll identify and describe the functions of different parts of a flowering plant and we’ll investigate how water is transported within plants. Towards the end of the unit, we will explore the part that the flower plays in the lifecycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal. 

We are also very much looking forward to starting swimming this half term as well as continuing to broaden our Spanish knowledge and musical skills.

Some key information:

Swimming - Mondays

Music – Tuesdays

Spanish – Tuesdays

P.E.  –  Tuesdays

Homework is given out on Wednesdays and should be completed by the following Monday. Reading books can be changed once they are completed; please remember that your child is asked to read at least 3 times a week.

We ask that you ensure reading books are brought into school every day and please bring in a water bottle too making sure it is filled with water only (no juice).

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Flint and Mr Shove
