Year 3

Welcome to Year 3

Hello…

Welcome you to our Year 3 home page. We have planned an exciting curriculum that we hope helps the children enjoy being writers, mathematicians and readers. We hope that the children learn skills that help them become life-long learners.

Please get in touch with the team should you have any questions about your child’s Year 3 Journey.

Welcome Meeting
