Welcome to Year 3

Year 3 is full of fun, laughter and learning! We enjoy so many different activities each week and are always busy learning. We are kind and caring to our friends and support each other each day. Our class author is Tom Fletcher and we love reading his books and listening to his songs too. We study so many different topics in Year 3. A few of the favourite topics are, the Romans, the Stone Age and Eqyptians. We also learn about the human body and light in science. Our artist inspiration for the year comes from Monica Lee, Bridget Riley and Jeff Koons. This is just a snapshot of what we do in Year 3! Follow the Brierley facebook page to see what we get up to each week.

There are multiple websites that your child could use at home and will be using within class:

• https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Homework

Homework will be handed out on a Thursday in the children’s homework folders. This is to be returned the following Thursday unless stated otherwise.

Reading in Year 3

Your child will bring home a reading book.  We ask that our parents and carers find at least ten minutes each night to read with their child.  When your child reads at home, please ask them questions about what they have read to ensure a good understanding of the book.

General reminders for parents

• Please make sure your child is wearing the correct, labelled uniform. This includes appropriate footwear. Please tie long hair back. Children are allowed to wear simple gold/silver stud earrings but they must be able to take them out for PE or have them removed before they come to school.
• PE is on Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays.  Please ensure your child comes into school in appropriate PE kit.
