Welcome to Year 3 Octopus
Miss Few - Class Teacher
Welcome to Year 3 Octopus. I am Miss Few and I am the class teacher. This year we also have another adult in the classroom, who will be supporting and helping the children. This is Mrs Martin. Year 3 are now in their first year in Key Stage 2 and we hope their transition is smooth. I am looking forward to teaching Year 3 this year and watching them grow. They are now becoming responsible, more independent and will be expected to become active learners and thinkers. Below is a timetable of things to remember each week.

Homework
Children should have their reading book in school every day and should be reading at home on a daily basis. It is important that your child is doing this as this will have an impact on their writing and other subjects in school. All homework will now been sent out on Friday and needs to be completed and handed back the following Thursday. Spelling homework can now be found in your child's Spelling Record Book and will be updated every week.
On Friday, the children will also receive a comprehension, some handwriting practise (based on their weekly spellings) and a page/s to complete in their Maths Booklet. This should be completed and handed in by Friday the following week.
In their pupil planners, you will also notice that we will add 'Magpie Words'. These are words that the children have looked at over the week and it would be great if you could discuss them or ask your child to try and put them into a sentence. We often add the 'Author of the moment' too or other usual information.
Year 3 Curriculum Overview
We have used the national curriculum and our expertise to map out a broad, balanced, creative and coherent curriculum. We believe our curriculum empowers our pupils to access and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions to enable them to become well-rounded citizens who take with them a life-long love of learning.
