St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

Welcome to the class page for Year 3, here you will find out some information about timetable and class expectations. Year 3 marks the beginning of KS2, which means the children will be starting to work more independently on a variety of exciting and fun themes. 

This year your child's teachers are Mrs Wilson (Mon-Wed) and Mrs O'Hara (Wed-Fri) and we are supported in class by Mrs Guiney each morning.  

On this page you should find all of the information that you will need about your child's curriculum and their everyday routines. Please also remember to follow us on X (Twitter) @StAugustinesCPS to see regular updates with photographs and information about the learning we do in Year 3. 

If you ever have any questions or would like support with anything at all, please feel free to speak with your child's teachers at the end of the day or simply speak to the office and ask them to make an appointment to see us. 

Blessed Sacraments: Year 3 also marks an important year for the Catholic children in their journey through the Sacraments. This year they will take part in Reconcilliation and then make their First Holy Communion. These are very special times which will help bring the children closer to God. More information will be given to you about these events closer to the time.  

PE: 

Lessons will take place on a Monday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor)  This half term we are very lucky to be receiving rugby sessions on Friday's with Warrington Wolves. 

Learning at home:

Reading diaries will be checked daily, homework collected and books changed on Friday. 

How can I help my child at home?

The most important thing is to continue to help with homework, reading x3 weekly, spellings and times tables. By the time your child begins Year 3, they should be able to recall all the times tables and division facts for their 2s, 5s, 10s. They should already know all of the Year 1/2 statutory spellings and they will begin their 3/4 statutory spellings. These are attached below for your reference.

Your child will learn that it is their own hard work and effort that matters, not someone else’s. Many of these tasks will supplement the work your child has been learning about in school and so are a very beneficial way of reinforcing their learning.

In Maths this term, we will be focusing on place value, addition and subtraction, and multiplication and divison.

 We will also be focusing on our times tables this year and practice these daily to ensure we are confident with our multiplication.
