Welcome to Year 3!
Year 3 is part of the ‘Middle Phase’ in our school. Mrs Scott is the phase leader for Year 3, and her role is to support the staff, children and families.
Year 3 is such a special milestone because it marks the start of the Key Stage 2 adventure and moving to the ‘big playground’! Children begin to step into a more grown-up role, taking on greater independence and responsibility, while being introduced to exciting new challenges in their learning. From tackling bigger numbers in maths and exploring fascinating periods in history, to hands-on science investigations and memorable trips, Year 3 is packed with opportunities that spark curiosity and build confidence. It’s also a time when friendships grow stronger and children develop important teamwork and life skills, setting the stage for a joyful and successful journey through Key Stage 2.
The children will be immersed into our Year 3 topics: ‘A Child’s Life’, ‘Food Glorious Food’ and ‘Across the Ages’. These topics offer fantastic learning opportunities and are enhanced by trips to Blists Hill Victorian Town and 2 wonderful WOW days. Children also start learning French and taking swimming lessons!
The children in Key Stage 2 no longer receive free fruit, so they are encouraged to bring in a health snack to eat at playtime.
As a team, we love celebrating every success, big or small, and we’re right there to guide and support pupils through any challenges they may encounter. Our SOAR values are woven into everything we do, helping children develop strong personal qualities and a positive mindset. By the end of the year, they’ll be well-prepared, focused, and excited for the transition into Year 4 - ready to take on new challenges with pride and resilience.
If you ever have any questions or want to chat with your child’s class teacher, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — you can contact us through the school office or send a message via Class Dojo. We’re always happy to help! By working together, we can make sure your child has a fantastic, successful and enjoyable time in Year 3.
