Year 3 – Mrs Brooks & Mrs Bouch

Welcome to Year 3

Mrs Brooks and Mrs Bouch 2025-2026

Welcome to Year 3! We hope that you all had a brilliant summer break and we are really looking forward to a new school year, full of exciting opportunities. Please find some important information about our class below.

In literacy, we will be learning to write instructions, narratives and letters using the books 'Seen and Not Heard' by Katie May Green and 'Jemmy Button' by Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. We will also start the term by reading 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura.

In numeracy, we will be completing lots of place value activities before exploring addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 

We will focus on history in topic this term when we will be learning about The Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will start by learning about how life changed between the Paleolithic and the Neolithic periods of the Stone Age. In science, we will be investigating ‘Rocks' before moving on to our 'Animals, Including Humans' topic. Keep checking our class Dojo page for updates about our learning and achievements.

Homework

Children in Year 3 should read aloud to an adult every night.  As well as daily reading, children must practise their spellings and timetables.  Each week, our spellings are available to practise online on Spelling Shed and children will be tested on them on a Thursday morning.  In Year 3, children need to know the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables and it is vital that children practise these regularly at home.  Again, these can be practised online using Times Tables Rockstars. The children will be individually set multiplication tables and will be assessed every Tuesday morning to see if they are ready to move onto the next one. Children will also be sent home maths tasks to complete that are linked to our weekly focus. 

Links for Spelling Shed and TT Rockstars are at the bottom of the page. You will find your child's login details in their Reading Record.

Please record daily home reading in your child's reading record and send it in to school each day. We will collect the reading records in each Friday and award Dojo points for home reading.

P.E.

Children will have P.E. on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and should bring their P.E kits to school at the start of every half term. This term we will be working on our ball skills and gymnastics.

P.E. kit - house team coloured t-shirt, black or blue shorts or tracksuit/jogging bottoms/leggings (in colder weather) and trainers or plimsolls.  No jewellery should be worn for safety reasons. Children who wear earrings must take them out for P.E. or tape them up please. 

Reminders:

  • Children should arrive at school at 8:45am. 
  • We will finish school promptly at 3:15pm.
  • Children need to bring a coat, a water bottle and a healthy snack / toast money to school (and a packed lunch if needed).
  • Reading records and reading books should enter and leave school every day.
  • Homework includes daily reading, a maths task and regular practice of spellings and times tables.

Our Class Dojo is a good channel of communication. Please send us a message if you wish to. Mrs Brooks teaches Year 3 from Monday to Wednesday and Mrs Bouch teaches the class on a Thursday and a Friday.
