Year 3
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back, Year 3 and Happy New Year! My name is Miss O'Connor and I am the new class teacher. I am very excited to meet you all and to teach Year 3. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the first half term of 2026! We're very excited to begin the first half of our Spring Term together.
This half term, we have lots of exciting learning ahead. In English, we’ll be going back in time to explore Ancient Egypt. In Maths, we’ll be learning about fractions and continuing to practice our times tables.
In Science, we’ll be looking at Forces and Magnets, comparing how things move on different surfaces. Our Geography lessons we will be exploring Antarctica and its climate. Over in Design and Technology, we'll be getting creative by creating our own Egyptian collars. In Music we will be learning about Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' and learning about the History of Reggae music as well as learning how to play 'Three Little Birds' on the glockenspiels.
It’s going to be a fantastic half term full of learning, creativity and fun, we can’t wait to get started!
This half term's newsletter with information on key dates and what we will be learning about is available via the link on the right.
Spellings will also be available each week via the link on the right as well as on Google Classroom.
There is an assignment on plants set up on MyON. Children can complete this at home or they can find texts of their own choice to read. There are plenty to choose from!
Your child's login details for all our online learning programmes are in their reading records. Mathletics, Times Tables Rock Stars and MyON are all set up for this year. Google Classroom is also set up for each child. They will have to log in to access the work.
Here are the website addresses as a reminder.
