Year 3

Welcome to Year 3’s class page. The Year 3 Team is made up of:

• Miss Penavega Teacher
• Miss Poole Teaching Assistant Apprentice

This year marks an exciting transition as the children move into Key Stage Two. They will take on new challenges, develop their independence, and build greater responsibility for their own learning. Our aim is to help every child grow in confidence and reach their full God-given potential.

It is also an exciting and special time in the children’s faith journey as we prepare together for the sacrament of First Holy Communion. Alongside this, we have lots to look forward to this year, including an inspiring trip to Cadbury World to support our reading of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and a visit to the National Stone Centre to explore and investigate rocks. These experiences will help bring our topics to life and give children memorable opportunities to connect their learning to the world around them.
