Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

Hi Year 3,

It was great to see you last week. I was very impressed with your positive attitude and hard work! My name is Miss Edwards and I will be your teacher and Ms Catana will be our class TA. Our first topic this year is Natural Disasters.

This is our class page where you can find important information about what we have been learning and what is coming up in the next week.

This term our PE sessions are on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please send your child into school wearing their PE kit. Please remember to bring in a jumper and coat, especially as it gets colder.

This is our curriculum map. It shows what we will be learning about this term.
