Hello! Welcome to Year 3 here at Hillside! 

We are the fantastic Year 3 class at Hillside. Our Teacher is Miss Lawrence and our Teaching Assistant is Mr Pickford. We are 31 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 Mondays! 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 been learning lots of greetings, numbers and how to tell people what our names and favourite animals are! 

 

New Challenges and Discoveries 

We love the challenge of our new work. We can’t wait to learn about: 

  • The Stone Age 
  • Rocks 
  • Brazil 
  • Rocks  
  • The Ancient Egyptians 

 

Building on Our Skills 

In English we learn how to write lots of different types of sentences and have lots of exciting inspiring text to write about including Stone Age Boy, The Great Kapok Tree and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! We love to incorporate drama into our lessons too!  

In maths, we build or confidence with number, calculation and problem solving – we are experts at column addition and subtraction!
