Welcome to P3!

P3 have settled in wonderfully and we are enjoying getting to know all of the children.

Throughout the year, we will explore a range of exciting topics. We will learn about our bodies and how to stay healthy, follow Paddington on his adventures and discover the many different animals he encounters, explore the wonders of space, and investigate a variety of fascinating mini-beasts.

In Literacy, we will continue to build on our reading and writing skills, with a focus on developing confident readers and writers. The children will benefit from the phonics knowledge gained through our Sounds-Write programme while further developing their creativity and confidence as writers.

In Numeracy, we enjoy a practical, hands-on approach that encourages the children to think independently, challenge themselves and develop their problem-solving skills. Throughout the year, we will build our understanding of number, exploring numbers up to 100 and developing confidence in a range of mathematical concepts and skills.

We look forward to celebrating our daily ‘Pupil of the Day’ through our PATHS programme, enjoying our Activity Based Learning sessions, and making the most of our outdoor play and learning opportunities.

Throughout the year, the children will have many opportunities to use ICT to support and enhance their learning. They will use Reading Eggs, explore coding and problem solving with Spheros and Bee-Bots, experiment with green screen technology, animation and film-making tools, and use iPads to extend and consolidate their learning across the curriculum.

We are looking forward to a fun, exciting and successful year in P3!
