Welcome to Year 3!
Our current theme is Romans on the rampage!
Welcome to the Summer Term in Year 3! This final term of the school year is an exciting one, filled with opportunities for pupils to build on their knowledge and finish the year with confidence. Our main topic will be the history of the Romans, where children will explore who the Romans were, how they lived, and the impact they had on Britain. Through engaging lessons, pupils will learn about Roman soldiers, settlements, and significant events, while developing their historical enquiry skills. Alongside this, we will continue to strengthen our learning across all subjects, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and independence as we prepare for the transition into Year 4.
Key Information
PE
We will have PE lessons on a Tuesday and Thursday this year. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is named and in school at all times as we sometimes have additional sessions too.
Reading
Children are expected to be reading at home at least 3 times per week and record this in their reading record. We will be checking weekly how the children get on with this.
Times tables
Children are encouraged to continue using TimesTable Rockstars at home 3 times per week. Every child has their username and password to enable them to log in. This will be checked in school, if you have any problems logging in, please speak to the class teacher. Of course, there are also many other ways to practice you multiplication facts alongside.
Purple Mash
The children have access to Purple Mash which they can use whenever they want. This platform can be used to support them in completing their weekly theme homework.
Weekly homework
Each week, the children are set a piece of homework to be completed by the following Friday. Usually, the homework pieces have a 1 week deadline, but this is occasionally extended due to the time and effort required of the task set. If you have any questions about the homework task, please do not hesitate to contact the class teacher.
