Welcome to the Year 3 class page!
Welcome to Year 3.
On behalf of all the staff in Year 3, welcome to our class page. This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing this term.
In Year 3, we always try to make our learning enjoyable and engaging so that it's memorable. We also work hard in lessons to reach clearly defined objectives and produce work of increasingly high quality.
We recognise that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. A strong partnership with you will make a great difference in your child's education.
If you ever have any questions or would like a chat about subjects or progress, please do not hesitate to ask.
