Welcome to Year 3

Welcome to Year 3’s page where lots of exciting and interesting new learning is taking place!

 

At the beginning of Year 3, it is important that children have a smooth transition from Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2 as they are encouraged to become more independent workers.

The Maths and English curriculum is covered using a variety of different teaching styles to ensure all children have access to lively and stimulating lessons, encouraging positive attitudes and greater depth of learning. Children are encouraged to produce high quality work and are able to select an appropriate level of learning within lessons through “challenge by choice” activities.

In Maths, all children are encouraged to solve problems and develop reasoning and explanation skills, as well as learning formal calculation methods. Scientific enquiry is at the heart of the Science curriculum. Children are given many opportunities to carry out investigations, ask questions and learn new practical skills.

Throughout the creative curriculum, children are given the opportunity to learn through investigative and enquiry-based lessons. 

Art and Design Technology skills are used to enhance our creative curriculum. Children also have the opportunity to learn French throughout Key Stage 2.

All children have weekly computing lessons using laptops and iPads giving them an awareness of internet safety, learning basic coding and programming skills, as well as learning how to produce Word and Powerpoint presentations.

Physical Education is an important part of lessons in Year 3 and the children have access to a wide range of high quality teaching from class teachers and specialist sport coaches.  Throughout the year, teachers and assistants are keen to support the children throughout their learning, so they develop skills such as independence, resilience and embrace challenge.
