Welcome to Year 3!

Happy New Year! We are looking forward to continuing to have a fantastic year together, in which we create a happy, safe and caring learning environment. If you have any questions, concerns or positive feedback, please speak to me after school or email me on Gavin.Evens@almondsburyprimary.co.uk.

Please take a look at the Meet the Teacher document below to find a timetable, overview of learning and further important information.

Class Book     

Our class book is The Bear in the Stars by Alexis Snell. Each child will have the opportunity to take it home and make a reflection by drawing or writing in the book journal. I hope you enjoy it!

 Topic

Our topic for this term is called Invasion. We will be learning about the Romans, Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.

Curriculum

Please see the 'jigsaw' planning overviews (attached at the end of this page) to see what we will be learning this term.

Reading 

A Guided Reading text and prep activity will be sent home every Friday. This will need to be completed over the weekend and brought back into school on Monday, ready for use in class. 

Reading records and any reading books that need changing will need to be brought into school on Tuesday. New books will be issued and sent home on Wednesday. 

Maths

By the end of Year 4, children are expected to know all of their times tables up to 12 x 12. As a school, we have subscribed to Times Tables Rockstars and every child will have their own login to access the site. This is an excellent way for children to practise their times tables at home.
