Hello and welcome to the Year 3 page. We are really excited to share learning experiences with you and support your child on their learning journey with us. We have lots of exciting things planned for this year throughout our three main topics. These topics include Clubs & Cavemen, Exhilarating Egyptians and Engaging Environments. We have some smaller topics which we cover in Year 3 as well, including Magnetic Robots and a focus this year as a whole school on Diversity.

Throughout each term we follow a cross curricular approach which allows us to be fully immersed in our learning journey and helps us to learn the skills we need to achieve our learning challenges at the end of each unit. We can't wait to get stuck into each and every lesson!

Each week we will upload a copy of the Home Learning document here for your reference and a paper copy also goes home each Friday. We collect the Home Learning in by the following Thursday and hold a Home Learning Celebration each Thursday afternoon, where the children will be able to share their learning with each other, ask questions, praise successes and share any other thoughts or ideas about their learning and the topic. You can send in hard copies of your home learning with your child or alternatively, you can email them by Thursday morning to the class email accounts:

3SC@pirbright.surrey.sch.uk

3WS@pirbright.surrey.sch.uk

We love to see all the learning the children have done and celebrate in their successes. Do think creatively, if you choose, in how to present the Home Learning. You can create videos, presentations, paper pieces, 3D pieces, soundscapes, etc. We cannot wait to see them!

Below you will find some helpful resources for support your child with their learning at home. These include the End of Year Expectations for Year 3, the Year 3 Writer's Wishlist, a guide created by the school to help at home and a selection of ideas, top tips and tricks from parents in Year 3 that they have found useful in engaging and supporting their children. Thank you to everyone who submitted their ideas for this document.
