About this class
Reading
Our expectation is that children should be supported with their reading at home at least three times a week, and we ask that parents and carers record when they have read with their children.
Spellings
10 words per week, from a list of Year 3 spelling words. Spellings can be accessed through Spelling Shed, a free app on which the children can play games and practise their spellings.
PE days
Lobsters: Tuesday and Thursday
Penguins: Tuesday and Wednesday

In KS1 the children are taught their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. In Year 3 we teach the children their 3, 4, 6 and 8 times tables.
We aim to go on two school trips during the year. One is a Geography fieldwork trip and the other is linked with our History and Science topics in the Autumn term.
Year 3 children take part in Bike-ability sessions in November each year, run by the Plymouth School Sports Partnership. Bikes are provided by the instructors and it is a great opportunity to practise and develop cycling proficiency.
