Year 3 2026 - 2027
Miss Wheeler
Welcome to Year 3
My name is Miss L Wheeler and I am the class teacher. Miss S Burke and Ms K Wong are our teaching assistants.
Our aim in Year 3, is to make the transition between Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 exciting and fun, whilst encouraging the children to take a real responsibility for their own learning. The children are supported in becoming more effective and independent learners by developing lots of their skills, as well as learning new ones.
Each half term in Year 3 there will be a different unit of work which will link some of the subjects together. Some subjects are taught discreetly. You can see all of our different topics by clicking on the 'Curriculum' tab. In English, the children will explore a range of texts and write for different purposes. They will develop sentence structures and begin to expand a range of vocabulary, which can help make their writing better. In reading, the children will focus on building fluency, by using their phonic knowledge to help work out any tricky words, as well as focusing using expression when reading. They will also spend time each week in developing retrieval skills and some inference to help answer questions. In Maths, tjhe children will build on learning from previous years by applying different methods to help solve problems or calculations, as well as learning lots of new challenging methods. Lots of the children's learning is done practically and with lots of visuals to help us understand the problems more.
Throughout the week we focus on our R.E., History, Geography, Science, Computing, Art, Music, PSHE, PE and Design & Technology learning. Each half term our unit of work changes and there are often links between some of the subjects. Each week we learn French with Mrs B McCord.
If you have any questions please get in touch via class dojo making an appointment via the school office.
