Welcome to Year 3! We are delighted to welcome all of our children and families to a new school year. We are looking forward to an exciting year filled with learning, creativity and new experiences as the children start their journey through Key Stage 2.
Throughout the year, we will work hard to provide a supportive, engaging and challenging environment where every child can grow in confidence, develop new skills and achieve their full potential. We value the partnership between home and school and look forward to working closely with parents and carers to ensure that every child has a happy and successful year.
We cannot wait to share all the wonderful learning, achievements and memorable moments that Year 3 will bring.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Dear God,
Thank you to our Year 3 family and for the opportunity to learn, grow and have fun together. Help us to always be kind, caring and respectful to one another. Guide us as we try our best in our learning, discover new things and use our talents to help others.
As we begin new adventures, make new friends and face new challenges, help us to be brave, confident and ready to learn. Teach us to look after our world and show love to everyone we meet.
Guide us in your footsteps of faith each day as we love, aspire and serve.
Amen.
Key information for Year 3
►Reading - Reading underpins all the learning that takes place at Holy Family, and it is at the heart of our curriculum. To support reading, please could all children ensure that they read their school reading book each evening and that their reading planner is signed by an adult. At Holy Family, we encourage children to choose their own reading for pleasure book. I am really looking forward to hearing about the books and comics the children have been reading.
►Spellings -New spelling rules and spelling patterns will be taught each week. Every Friday, all children will receive a new spelling list and then we will have a spelling test the following week on Friday. This allows children to have a week to learn the new spelling rules. As well as recalling spelling rules, it is very important that the children understand new vocabulary and know how to apply this in a sentence.
►Homework - All children will be given weekly English or Maths homework. The given homework will alternate from English to Maths each week. Children will receive homework each Friday and they are required to hand this in on the following Friday.
►PE - PE will take place every Thursday and Friday. All children must have the correct school PE kit of white t-shirt and black shorts. (Track suits may be worn as the weather turns colder). Please ensure that all children have trainers to enable them to fully participate.
As always, thank you for your continued support – it is greatly appreciated.
If you ever have any questions, concerns or simply want to discuss anything about your child's learning, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The 1000-Year-Old Boy!
Year 3 discovered a mysterious suitcase which had appeared in the classroom. The children were told that something very strange had arrived, and it was their job to work out who it belonged to, where it had come from, and why it had been left behind.
The classroom was buzzing with curiosity as the children examined the clues, shared their ideas and made predictions. What a fantastic way to hook the children into our new story—we can't wait to see where this adventure takes us!
