Welcome to Year 3's Class Page

Autumn 1 Term

.

Welcome to Year Three at Arundale Primary School!

I am delighted to welcome you and your children to Year Three. We have an exciting and engaging term ahead, full of opportunities for learning, creativity, and discovery.

In English, our work will follow the Year Three curriculum, with a particular focus on the inspiring book Grandpa’s Island. This text will guide much of our reading, writing, and discussion, encouraging the children to explore ideas through storytelling and creative writing.

In Maths, we will be developing a secure understanding of place value and practising problem-solving skills, helping children to become confident and resilient mathematicians.

Our Science topic will be Skeletons and Nutrition. Children will learn how our bodies are supported and how we stay healthy through a balanced diet.

In Art, we will study the work of Antoni Gaudí, exploring his unique style and using it as inspiration to create our own sculptures.

Our Geography lessons will take us to the Mediterranean. We’ll be asking questions about food, culture, and why this part of the world is such a popular holiday destination. Alongside this, children will also enjoy a rich curriculum including History, RE, and other subjects that broaden their understanding of the world.

PE will take place every Thursday, so please ensure your child comes prepared with their kit.

It is going to be a wonderful term of learning and growth, and I look forward to working together with you to support your child’s journey in Year Three.

Warm regards,

Mr McCarthy,
