Welcome to Year 3 at Northbrook Primary Academy

Hello from the Year 3 team here at Northbrook Primary Academy!

As the youngest class in Key Stage 2, we are looking forward to sharing exciting and memorable learning opportunities with the children to inspire their creativity and develop independent learning skills. Our classroom is a warm, nurturing and calm environment, where we learn practically and love to take our learning outside when we can.

In Year 3 we are named after famous astronaut Mae Jemison! She inspired the world in 1992 when she became the first woman of colour to go to space! Her inspiration doesn't stop there as she is still a hard working scientist, advocating for children in science and even working on a project to get humans beyond our solar system!

In Year 3, we really enjoy learning new skills; developing our confidence and questioning our learning to help us discover even more. Our curriculum is designed to help us enquire and be inquisitive about the world around us, and we celebrate curiosity and creativity.

This year, we will be exploring some amazing stories and books to help us become amazing authors. We will learn all about Paddington’s journey, Aesop’s fables and write a letter of persuasion.

We have a wide range of exciting topics that we will be exploring this year including, What Britain used to be like in the Stone age, the human skeleton, volcanoes and Ancient Egypt.

We use Seesaw in Year 3 as we love to share our learning so that our parents at home see what we are up to during the school day.

Important days

We are now on the second rotation of Forest School. Group B will be doing Forest School on a Monday afternoon whatever the weather, please make sure your child has the correct clothing with them!

Our PE sessions are led by Mrs Wilson on Wednesday and our fantastic sport coach on a Friday. Please make sure your child has their PE kit in school at all times and that earrings are removed for PE.

Homework is set every Monday! Currently we are asking for children to complete their assignments on Reading Plus and practice their times tables on TTRockstars! Please to get in touch if you have misplaced your logins!
