Mrs Goodwin and Miss Roffe

A very warm welcome to all of our Year 3 children, parents and visitors.  In our classroom, we are committed to creating a learning environment where every child can grow, learn, and succeed. Our classroom is a safe space where children can express their feelings, ask for help when needed, and feel comfortable being themselves. Year 3 is an exciting year of discovery! We want children to develop a natural curiosity about the world around them. Our lessons are designed to spark questions and engage imaginations. We look forward to an amazing year ahead, filled with fantastic learning, exploration and laughter together. 

For any queries or questions, please don't hesitate to speak to us at the end of the school day.

Please check out Class Dojos for weekly updates of all the exciting learning we get up to!

  

Our Class Saint is St Joseph

Saint Joseph is the patron saint of our class. He was the husband of Mary and the earthly father of Jesus. Joseph was a kind, loving and hardworking man who cared for and protected his family.

He showed great faith in God by trusting Him and following His plan, even when things were difficult. Joseph teaches us the importance of being kind, caring, patient and looking after one another.

Saint Joseph reminds us that being a good role model is about our actions, not just our words. As a Year 3 class, we can follow his example by looking after one another, showing kindness, helping those in need and making our classroom a place where everyone feels loved and valued.

We have been learning about our class saint, Saint Joseph. The children have drawn around their hands and written inside each finger one way they can use their hands to make a difference, such as sharing with a friend, helping someone who is struggling or showing kindness to others.

We have also explored the qualities of Saint Joseph, thinking about what made him such a special role model. Through discussing real-life scenarios, the children have considered how they can follow in his footsteps by showing kindness, courage, patience and care in their everyday lives.

Saint Joseph, pray for us! ❤️

 

 

Spellings

Spellings will go out termly and we will do a spelling test every Friday. Please encourage your child to practice their spellings at home as there will be DOJO points available to children that have worked hard!

PE

Our PE days are: Tuesday afternoon and Friday Morning.

Children are welcome to come into school wearing their full PE kits on both days (indoor and outdoor wherever possible would be brilliant!)

Homework

Children will be given homework on a Friday, and it will be due back in on the following Wednesday - DOJO points will be awarded to children that give their homework in on time as well as be entered into a wheel to try and win a prize!

Reading

It is so incredibly important to read at home! When you have read at home and get your record signed by an adult you could be in with a chance of receiving a reader of the week certificate

Uniform

We have a beautiful uniform at St Mary's and we pride ourselves on our fantastic appearance. Please make sure you attend school in the correct uniform, always looking lovely and neat!

Settlements and land use

This term, we are GEOGRAPHERS! We will embark on a journey that will help us to understand the physical landscape and surrounding seas and oceans of the UK.

We will explore the countries that make up the United Kingdom and look at the differences and similarities between the landscapes in each of them. We will look at some of the incredible mountains that call our country home and understand how rivers may begin in some of them! Whilst exploring this topic, we will be building up our own knowledge so that we can answer the question, ‘What is land like in the UK and how do we use it?’
