Welcome to Year 3 !

We're really pleased with the transition the children have made from Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2. We believe they've had an exciting start to year 3 and the children appear happy, motivated and ready for the challenges ahead.

The year 3 classes are led by Miss Bailey and Mrs Bae supported by Mrs Nash and Miss Cunningham. We have very high aspirations for all children in year 3 and will be challenging them all to reach their full potential.
Curriculum
In year 3, the children follow the National Curriculum. English sessions are taught through the Power of Reading approach. Children's reading and writing will develop through reading and responding to high quality texts. Children will also experience drama, poetry and art through the Power of Reading approach. Maths sessions follow the White Rose Maths teaching sequence and progressions. Mastery of maths through practical, pictorial and abstract experiences will ensure children have the deepest understanding possible.
Power of Reading
Our foundation subjects, geography, history, science etc, are taught through the Cornerstones curriculum. This topic themed approach ensures children cover the national curriculum through a broad range of exciting, progressive learning activities.
 
Children read for 30 minutes daily and their reading progress is tracked through the Accelerated Reader software. After reading a text that's suitably challenging, the children take quizzes to check their understanding of the book they've read. The software then recommends a new, suitable book for them.
