W​elcome to Year 3

T​eacher: Mr D. Musker

S​upport Staff: Miss S. Cavanagh & Miss L. Stanley

Across the academic year 2026/2027, Mr Musker, Mrs Cavanagh and Mrs Stanley will be leading the children through an exciting, enjoyable educational journey. Below is some key information for parents and children regarding the autumn curriculum and our routines. For more in-depth information about the autumn curriculum please refer to the Year 3 Autumn Curriculum Overview on this page.

Reading: This year your child will be doing lots of reading in school but we also need your help to boost your child’s reading skills. Each week, your child will bring a reading book home to practise with you. Once they have finished the book send it back and we will then send a new book home the following day.

Weekly Spellings and Times Tables: Each Monday, your child will bring home their spellings and times tables practise for that week. We would like your child to learn their spellings and tables each night before they are tested on a Friday. Your child needs to return their spellings and tables to school each Friday. Thank you.

Weekend Homework: Each Friday, your child will be set one piece of homework (Maths or English). Please return it on Mondays.

Curriculum: Our English lessons this term will centre around four books: Our Tower, The First Drawing, Tin Forest and The Barnabus Project. Our Guided Reading lessons will focus on two more texts (Lost Species and Earth Shattering Events). Our Mathematics topics this term include Place Value, Addition and Subtraction and Multiplication. In Science, we will be studying Rocks and Soils and Animals including Humans. For full information of all the subjects and topics being taught in autumn please refer to the Autumn Curriculum Overview on this page.

PE: Your child will have a PE lesson on a Wednesday and Friday. We would like your child to attend school, on these days, in their school PE kit.
