Year 3

Teacher: Miss Johnson

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Cane and Miss Harris

Summer 1, 2025

Welcome Back, Year 3!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter break! Welcome back to the final term of Year 3!

Summer is here so please provide a named sunhat for your child and apply sun cream at home before school on sunny days and PE days when we may be outside for longer periods than usual. 

Our Summer 1 topic is 'Volcanoes and Earthquakes’ in which we will be learning about the structure of the Earth's crust, understand that the earth is split into tectonic plates and how earthquakes and volcanoes are caused. We will also be using latitude and longitude to find where the earthquakes and volcanoes are on a map. This will feed into our writing in English this half term as we look at writing to inform through non-fiction writing.

Please find all of the different things that we are learning on our curriculum overview pages below. These will be updated each half term with all of the fun things that we are learning. 

On this page you will find:

   - The home learning grid for Summer 1 half-term

   - Spelling list

   - Topic grid for ‘Volcanoes and Earthquakes'

   - Resources to support at home

Important information:

PE

PE day – Wednesday

Please make sure your child brings in their PE kit at the start of the week and they will come back home on a Friday – as per the communication sent by email in December, we will be changing into our PE kits at school from January!  Please make sure ALL clothing and bags are NAMED!

Please order lunches at home to help us to have a smooth start to the day and encourage your child to bring in a healthy snack for playtime.

Please could you ensure that your child has the correct stationary for school and their reading book in school each day. Please make sure that their stationary and uniform is named so we can return it to your child quickly and easily. 

We will be going to the library on Friday afternoons so please ensure that children have their library books with them if they would like to change them.

If you need to chat to me about anything, I will be at the classroom door at the start and end of the day or if you need a little longer, please make an appointment via the office.
