Year 3

Welcome to our Year 3 class page

We are a group of kind, respectful children who enjoy achieving our best. We try hard to follow the Badsey Values and celebrate our differences. We love to learn new things and always try our best in all areas of our learning.

Our teacher is Miss Wilde. Miss Ore helps support our learning too.

Summer Term News

Year 3 have had a fantastic Summer Term! A particular highlight was our fantastic visit to the Coventry Transport Museum. We loved learning about how transport has changed through time as well as different types of transport.

In our writing lessons, the children have loved reading the 'Iron Man'. We created our own character descriptions, ensuring that we effectively used our senses to describe.

In maths, we have worked extremely hard to develop our fractions knowledge. We have used resources to find fractions of an amount as well as comparing and ordering fractions.

A final highlight this term was swimming! The children came into school excited each day and ready for their swimming lesson. It was lovely to see the children's confidence grow over the 2 weeks and their enthusiasm shine through!

Reading in KS2

As a school we love to read and think this is really important. It is the expectation that children read for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Children can borrow books from their classroom or the school library. The children should be completing accelerated reader quizzes, when they have finished their book.

You can access accelerated reader here -
