Year 3

Information for parents 2024-25

The Year 3 team are:
Miss Gillson
Mrs Hardy
Mrs Hahn
Mrs Martorella

Mrs Gillson's class have Swimming on a Monday.
Mrs Hardy's class have swimming on a Tuesday.
The children will swim alternate weeks. They will be split in to two groups and we will let the children know which group they are in. Children need to wear a swim hat and goggles whilst swimming.

Mrs Gillson's PE day is a Wednesday.
Mrs Hardy's PE day is a Friday.
Children need to come to school in a white t-shirt and blue or black shorts or tracksuit bottoms. Wherever possible we will do PE outside, so layers will be needed in the colder months.

The children will be given a pencil case when they start Year 3. This will contain everything they will need to complete their work. We ask them to look after it and take care with their belongings. We are reluctant to replace items that are lost or damaged. Parents do not need to supply anything from home.

The children are allowed to bring one healthy snack to eat at morning break - this should only be fruit or vegetables. They do not need an afternoon snack. We ask that only healthy snacks are brought in to school; if unhealthy snacks are brought in we will ask that they are put back in bags to take home. All items must be completely free of even traces of nuts or seeds, due to significant health concerns of other students. Thank you for your support on this important matter.

Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle in to school. These are stored at the side of the classroom so they don't spill on work. We ask that bottles are filled with water only. If your child has a reason that they need something other than water, please speak to a member of the team.

This is our Year 3 building
 
The toilets for each class are next to their classroom door, we share the sinks.
You will have a space to put your water bottle and lunchbox. Your coat peg and drawer are labelled with your name.
Each classroom will have a Book Nook and a Calm space but they might look different.
We have a wonderful shared space we call The Pod. It’s great for when we need a quiet space to work.

We have been learning about the human skeleton. We went outside and found items to make our own skeletons. We can name our spine, femur, skull, pelvis and ribcage. Can you spot them in our photos?
