Class 3 2023 - 2024

Miss Hartropp

Hello everyone, welcome to Year 3! ♥

To those of you who don't know me, I'm Miss Hartropp. I've been a Primary School Teacher for 11 years and have taught in Hertfordshire, Liverpool and most recently here in Nantwich! I'm thrilled to be now be working at Highfields where my two daughters, aged 4 & 5, are pupils.

,Here is some key information for this half term:

PE will be on Mondays and Tuesdays. Please send your child into school wearing their PE kits on these days.

Homework: We have moved onto a new online system called Atom Prime which uses adaptive learning via AI to provide appropriately challenging questions for your child, and also has some fantastic guides and demonstrations to support learning at home. As before, homework will be set on a Friday and be due in the following Wednesday. Please do let let me know if you've not been able to access this yet.

Spellings: I won't be running weekly tests at school, however the children will bring home a list of words connected to the spelling rule that we are learning each week. They will then have a half termly spelling check up which will contain words from the rules/patterns they have learned. So please do practise the spellings at home :) I have also uploaded the word lists below.

Times Tables Rock Stars: please speak to me if you haven't been able to access this yet, it's loads of fun and a great way to get ready for the national Multiplication Check in Year 4.

Reading: please keep reading at home! This is just as vital in Key Stage 2 as it was in Key Stage 1. Children are expected to be reading at home most days for at least 10 minutes which will have a range of benefits for their Literacy, plus a hugely positive effect on other subjects too. Please could you encourage your child to do this or, even better, read with them. We will ensure books are changed at least once a week.

It was lovely to meet some of you our 'Meet the Teacher' sessions on 11th September. I have attached below my powerpoint presentation with all the information discussed.

You can also find below the long term curriculum plan for this year, a handy guide re. what your child will be learning in Year 3 + a brilliant book guide.

Thank you in advance for your continued support. Please feel free to contact me via email if you need advice or help with anything.

Best wishes and enjoy the sunshine!

Miss Hartropp :)
