Welcome to Year 3 Octopus
Mrs Thackway- class teacher
Welcome to Year 3 Octopus. I am Mrs Thackway and I am the class teacher. I am also the Lower Key Stage 2 Phase Leader. Year 3 are now in their first year in Key Stage 2 and we hope their transition is smooth. I am looking forward to teaching Year 3 this year and watching them grow. They are now becoming responsible and more independent and will be expected to become active learners and thinkers. Below is a timetable of things to remember each week.

Homework
Children should have their reading book in school every day and should be reading at home on a daily basis. It is important that your child is doing this as this will have an impact on their writing and other subjects in school. Spelling online homework goes live on Spelling Shed on a Monday and a minimum of 3 games should be completed online by Friday. Again, it is extremely important that your child is doing their homework every week. Times tables (including division facts) should be secure by the end of year 4 so this will be a priority for those children who do not know theirs. In Year 3 we focus on 3, 4, 8 and 6 times tables. Please allow your children to log on to Times Tables Rock Stars regularly and play a minimum of 15 minutes so that they can be involved in the competitions and the battles we create against other classes. The children thoroughly enjoy taking part in the competitive aspect of the website and they are improving their times tables skills at the same time.
Year 3 Curriculum Overview
We have used the national curriculum and our expertise to map out a broad, balanced, creative and coherent curriculum. We believe our curriculum empowers our pupils to access and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions to enable them to become well-rounded citizens who take with them a life-long love of learning.
