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!

Year 3 Notices

Coming soon....

Walsall Art Gallery Trip on Tuesday 4th February 2025. A letter will be sent out soon.

In the spring term, Year 3 will begin an art unit: Drawing: Growing artists.

This unit will focus on teaching children the use of shapes, shading, and texture in art to enhance their drawing skills. It emphasises developing a sense of light and dark, using frottage for texture, and experimenting with different tools to create expressive and abstract art. 

The trip to the gallery will bring the learning to life outside the classroom. The children will experience hands on experience in a workshop and tour the will include work of local and national artists. To inspire, motivate and engage their learning further.
