A big hello from Year 3!

Year 3 are taught by Mr Fox  and are supported by Mrs Petts. 

This is what our classroom environment looks like:

 

In Year 3 we offer all children a friendly and supportive environment whilst encouraging more independence as the year goes on. We have a lovely time in our class, encouraging kindness and teamwork and making sure each child feels valued and is challenged to work to the best of their ability. We make learning as engaging and interactive as we can, and have some fantastic topics that we love teaching!

Here’s our Long Term Plan-

Long Term Plan Y3 2526

 

English 

Each week the children will have 3 20 minute spelling sessions where we will focus on a new rule. Moving forward we are not having a spelling test, instead testing the children through dictation in the final session of the week. Children still have access to spelling shed which we encourage they use to practice their spellings.

We often use class books to deliver our Writing curriculum and the pupils really get a lot out of these as we incorporate EGSP, drama, book talk and writing. Where possible, we try and link the books we choose topically, whether it be our main topic, our science topic or even linking it to RSE. The books we use are:

The Stone Age Boy

The Boy Who Grew Dragons

Tuesday

Escape from Pompei

Jamil’s Clever Cat

The Great Kapok Tree

The Iron Man

We also make use of The Literacy Shed and use exciting and engaging videos there, like ‘The Dreamgiver’, as a stimulus for writing.

 

 

In our Guided Reading, we will start off with : The Boy Who Grew Dragons

Other books include-

The Iron Man

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Tilly and the Time Machine

To celebrate our love of reading and reading for pleasure we have our class reading journal that goes home with a child once a week. This is then filled in after they have read a book and they share their review with the rest of the class. The sharing so far has been amazing and has created some fabulous dialect and conversations.  During our book club sessions we celebrate the books that children have been reading and then they give recommendations.
