Welcome to Year 3. We are delighted to be working with your children and welcome you to their first step into Key Stage Two.

If you would like to discuss your child’s learning or share any pastoral information (e.g. changes in circumstances at home, friendships) please contact the team on AskYear3@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk , noting in the subject heading which teacher you would like to get in touch with. We will endeavour to get back to you as quickly as possible during the working week. For all non-learning matters (e.g. payments, clubs, pick-up arrangements), please contact Office@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk .

Our aim is to give every child the opportunity to experience ‘An Honourable Life in All its Fullness’ and we hope that your child has a wonderful year with us here in Year 3.

PE days: Tuesday and Wednesday

Your child will need to come into school in their PE kit on their PE days, alongside any days in which they are attending an after school sports club. We also advise that pupils have a spare pair of trainers in the cloakroom for daily 'active time' sessions (if their school shoes are not appropriate for running).

Learning in Year 3 (Termly Overview)

These termly overviews outline the units, subject skills and 'must haves' that your child will be learning. You may wish to discuss and research some of the learning at home if your child has shown a particular interest in one of the areas.

Home Learning

Reading: At least 3 times a week, checked on Friday

Your child will bring home a selection of books to read. Ideally, we hope that our children read daily but we expect every child to read a minimum of 3 times a week and record this in their reading record. Please have a good read of your child's reading record book as it has a wealth of information on home reading as well as some of the new features of Year 3. There is also information on their new 'Wheel of Fortune' reward scheme!

This year, your child will be introduced to a fantastic interactive learning resource called 'Reading Plus' which we encourage them to use both in school and at home. They will receive their logins early on in the autumn term. 

Spellings: Set on Thursday, tested on Wednesday

Your child's weekly spellings will be available to view on Google Classroom.

Please support them in practising these at home.  

Maths skills: Set on Thursday, due on Wednesday

Another new feature this year is a super website called 'Freckle'. Your child's weekly maths home learning tasks will be available to view on this website and, again, login details will be provided early in the term.

For technical and password support, please contact Mr Oulton on AskGoogle@longfleet.coastalpartnership.co.uk or follow the link below:

How Can I Support My Child at Home?

Here are some helpful links and resources to use at home:

Longfleet 'Must Reads' for Year 3

Below are a selection of our 'Must Read' books that we enjoy throughout the year in Year 3. These are high quality texts that we feel will enrich our children's reading experiences as well as help to take them on a varied reading journey throughout their time at primary school. By the end of Year 3, all of the children will have heard and enjoyed these books in class but they may wish to add them to their own collection at home. Re-reading and discussing favourite books is such a valuable part of the reading experience and something that can also be enjoyed as a family. Happy reading!
