Welcome to Year 3
Mrs Corry & Mrs Hicks
Welcome to our Year 3 Class Page
Year 3 is such an exciting school year and we are very proud to be the Year 3 class teachers.
Mrs Dunn will be teaching in class on Monday and Tuesdays and Mrs Corry on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays.
We use Seesaw to share photographs and snippets of school life and learning to communicate with parents. Login QR codes are sent home in September so that you can access the app to see Year 3 in action.
In Year 3, we will be learning about different English texts and developing writing by using paragraphs, a variety of sentence structures and writing for different purposes such as reports, stories, recounts and information texts.
Maths will be initially covering 3 digit numbers up to 1000, times tables and division facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 times tables will be covered in Year 3 and we really hope you can practice these as much as possible at home.
Our History and Geography topics will be the local area of Urmston, including Fieldwork and mapping skills, Early Civilisations including the Stone, Bronze and Iron ages. There will be an Ancient Egypt study in the Summer term.
We will be learning Spanish this year, with a focus on colours, numbers and greetings.
