Hello! Welcome to Year 3 here at Hillside!
We are the fantastic Year 3 class at Hillside. Our teacher is Mr Switzer and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Riley. We are 29 amazing children who are some of the most caring, hard-working and inquisitive children in the school. We can’t wait to share our learning with you!
Year 3 is full of new, exciting learning and we come to school everyday engaged and ready to learn! In our classroom, we aim to create a happy, supportive and inspiring environment where every child feels confident to challenge themselves, try new things and celebrate their achievements.
Moving into Key Stage Two
This year, we have moved into Key Stage Two. We love having our own trays in our desks and love getting to play football on Friday! There are lots of new exciting after school clubs to attend too and some exciting trips to look forward to.
We have new subjects to learn. The most exciting new subject is French. We have started learning lots of greetings, numbers and how to tell people what our names!
New Challenges and Discoveries
We love the challenge of our new work. We can’t wait to learn about:
Map work
The Ancient Egyptians
The Stone Age
