Hello everyone and welcome to Year 3. We hope you had a lovely summer. We are very excited to get stuck into all the new and exciting learning this year.

If you have any queries about any aspect of your child's learning, please do get in touch.

Best wishes 

Mr Oldham and Mrs Birks

In maths, Green Class will build on their knowledge of place value - representing numbers to 100 and partitioning them into hundreds, tens and ones. Towards the end of this half-term, they will look at addition and subtraction of ones, tens and hundreds and the written methods.

In literacy, the children will be looking closely at books that are related to our history topic (Stone Age to Iron Age) and our science topic of rocks and fossils, starting with 'The Pebble in My Pocket' by Meredith Hooper. They will be doing lots of exciting writing based around them. 

Please also refer to the Year 3 curriculum overviews for each subject if you wish to see what your child will be learning this year. These can be found on this website under the 'Curriculum' tab.

PE is on a Thursday and Friday.

Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on Thursdays and Fridays. 

Stockport County are kindly providing PE kits for all children this year. These should be distributed to you during the first week back in school.

Arrangements for PE during the first week back:

• Children may wear their old PE kit or other suitable sports clothing (such as a plain t-shirt, shorts, or joggers with trainers).

•  Please note: Football kits are not permitted.

Due to health and safety regulations, all earrings, watches and jewellery must be removed prior to the school day for PE sessions. 

Homework

The children should aim to complete 30 minutes of Times Tables Rock Stars at home every week. The login for this can be found in your child's reading diary.

Reading of any kind has a huge beneficial impact on your child's learning. I encourage the children to log any reading they do at home in their reading diaries. Whether this is their reading book, a book they have at home, magazines or comics, please log it all! Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and reading diary into school every day.
