Welcome To Year Three

We’re excited to welcome you and your children to Year 3! This year is full of exciting learning opportunities, including exploring rocks and soils in science and learning all about the Stone Age in History. We will be developing reading and writing skills across a range of texts, and growing confidence in maths. A big focus in maths this year will be learning and securing times tables, particularly the 3, 4 and 8 times tables, to build strong foundations for future learning. The children have some very exciting extracurricular activities this year that provide a range of engaging learning opportunities, outside of the classroom. Some examples of these are; the trip to Celtic Harmony, swimming and Sing-up. We’re here to support every child in becoming an enthusiastic, independent learner. If you have any questions or would like to know more about what we’re learning, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

 Forest School

Forest School is led by Mr Tilbury and takes place once a week. During these sessions, children will spend time exploring and learning outdoors in the school forest area or at Chicksands Woods.

Children may arrive at school wearing their Forest School clothes and should bring their school uniform with them to change into afterwards. Please ensure that your child wears warm, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting muddy or wet, as outdoor learning can sometimes be messy.

We aim to run Forest School sessions in most weather conditions, so it is important that children have appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear for the outdoors. Sessions will only be cancelled in the event of extremely high winds or severe storms.
