Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

Mrs. Cobham and I (Mr. Cooper) would like to welcome you to our class page.

Here you will find some useful information about Year 3.

Communication

To keep updated with what your child is doing in school make sure that you join Class Dojo. It is a fantastic tool which allows you to keep track of your child's behaviour as well as what they have been learning each day. I will communicate through our ‘Class Story’ and you will be able to see how many Class Dojo points your child receives each day. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me through the private messaging service that Class Dojo provides.

Reading

At Moulton, we aim to develop a life-long love of reading. Reading is central to everything we do in school and we love sharing engaging and exciting texts with the children.

Children will bring home a reading book from our school library each day.

If your child is reading on our Read Write Inc. scheme, your child will be given a Read Write Inc. reading book to take home. These are changed on a three read cycle. More information on this will be shared on our Class Dojo page.

When children finish our Read Write Inc. scheme, they will progress to choosing their own books for pleasure. These books are carefully monitored by myself & Mrs. Cobham to ensure that all children are being suitably challenged.

English

Each half term, your child will be studying a high-quality text. Within their English lessons, they will develop their understanding of grammar, punctuation and spelling. Spelling is taught using a tailored curriculum we have created for our learners. It follows a phonetic approach to spelling & is taught in blocks of three lessons, weekly.

You can keep up to date with our learning on the Class Dojo page. This half term we are reading the text Seal Surfer by Michael Foreman in our Writing lessons, accompanied by The Sea Book by Charlotte Millner in our Guided Reading lessons.

Maths

You can also keep up to date with our Maths learning on the Class Dojo page. Maths is taught using the White Rose scheme. This half term will focus mainly on Place Value.
