You are finally in KS2! It is the start of great things, and you will grow so much. Our first English class text will be 'Into the Forest' by the Year 2 spot light author, Anthony Browne. You may have already read some of his other books such as 'The Tunnel', 'Silly Billy' or 'Gorilla'. In Maths, we will be looking at place value, adding and subtraction strategies, counting, comparing and ordering numbers in Term 1.

Being a Year 3 child is exciting as they get to have so much fun and learn so many things. As part of our 10 promises, we will be visiting the church and the Art gallery to support our learning this year. We will step back in time in our time machines to the stone age, as well as, meeting the Romans and Egyptians, during the year. 

We are looking forward to sharing this learning journey together!
