A warm welcome to our Year 3 class page.
My name is Mrs K Thomas and I am the class teacher. To support us with our learning in Year 3 we are very fortunate to have Mrs S Kay. Here in Year 3, we are proud to welcome the children into Key Stage 2 life by combining many different learning styles in a rich learning environment. We are very fortunate to have such a fantastic school and we make use of as many areas as we can. These include our outdoor shelter and wooded area, our shared learning areas, the green screen room, and of course our classroom. We also have access to a variety of technology and devices including ipads, chromebooks and laptops. |

Being Brilliant Each week we have a 'Brilliant' target. Every child tries to get into the 'Spotlight' to earn class dojo points. |

PE day is Monday. Labelled kit must be brought in for use on this day. PE is taken by our coach Mr Carpenter ‘Chippy’. Homework and Reading
Homework Folders and reading books should be returned every Thursday and will be sent back home on a Friday. Communication
We communicate regularly via our class Dojo page. ClassDojo is a school communication platform that teachers, students, and families use daily to build close-knit relationships between school and home. We use it to share what is being learned in the classroom and at home through photos, videos, and messages. Pupil Voice
We encourage pupil led learning at every opportunity by carrying out weekly Pupil Voice sessions. The children provide fantastic ideas that enhance their own learning. |
