Year 3
Welcome to Year 3’s class page…
A very warm welcome from myself, Mrs. Burdett. I am so excited for this year, as it is a fresh start to a brand new academic year that everyone has been waiting for! I will ensure that everyone in Year 3 will have the most amazing time learning inside and outside the classroom whilst staying as safe as possible.
I teach Year 3 and with the support of Mrs. Heaney and Mrs. Noble who are both amazing and wonderful, all at the same time! On Wednesday mornings, Miss Mallinson will be teaching Music and Mrs. Barnett will be teaching RE.
This term’s Stars!
Now that we are allowed to have assemblies together again, we have restarted our Star Award Assembly on Friday morning. This is a very special assembly where Mrs. Burdett tells us how amazing one of our friends has been this week – our parents are even allowed to come! Well done to all of our recent Star Award winners.
Important things to know about…
Times Tables – Every week, we are given Times Tables to learn and we are tested on these every Friday. Please try and practise them at home – we’ll be practising in school too.
Spellings – Each Friday I will give the children their new spelling list. At the same time we will run through the spellings they have been learning throughout the week. Make sure you’re practising them at home!
Reading at Home – We should read at home (independently or with an adult) every day and it should be logged in our Reading Diary. Reading Diaries will be checked daily. Reading is EXTREMELY important because it helps our children to unlock more of the curriculum.
Maths and English Homework – I set homework every Friday on Seesaw and it is to be submitted on or before the following Friday. Homework will be based on the spellings and times tables that are given that day. Repetition is excellent practice for our children and will help them to remember their spellings and time tables.
