Meet the Year 3 Team

The Year 3 staff team are very excited to welcome Ms Stephens back to our wonderful year 3, for her final placement. In our summer term, we have planned a lovely variety of exciting activities within our units. The children will take part in science experiments involving Forces and magnets. Also, they will be developing their understanding of land use in the local area. Within Maths, children will be enjoying Shape, Multiplication,  Long division and Measurement (including Money). 

In Literacy, we will be using Leon and the Place Between to inspire our writing and then moving onto work based on the explorer Shackleton. We will end the year with work based on a super book-The Diary of the Ninja Cat.
