Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

This year, our class names at Blenheim have been chosen to encourage our love for reading poems. Each class will be named after a famous poet. Classes will learn some of the poems and have the opportunity to perform them! We will look closely at certain poems written by our class poet throughout the year.

Year 3 AH are named after the incredible Michael Rosen who is a British writer and performer. Mrs Hussain is the class teacher and Miss Clarke and Miss Nkrumer will also be working with us. 

Some of Michael Rosen's famous poems are: 

Chocolate cake, No breathing, Yesterday and Babysitter.

Year 3 ML are named after Eloise Greenfield who was an American-African author. She received many awards for her positive contribution to children's literature. Some of her famous poems are: 

By myself, land of words and Things. 

In 3ML Miss Latham is the class teacher and Mrs Ahmed and Miss Nkrumer will also be working with us. 

Our Curriculum

2026-27

 You can find out all about our learning this year below with our Long Term Plan. 

Homework and Reading

Reading

Please read with your child every day for at least 15 minutes and sign the reading record to show that this has been completed. In order to limit the number of times a book travels to different homes, we will be sending 2 books out at a time, once a week. Children will also have the opportunity to borrow a book from the class library to read over the weekend, 

Please encourage your child to complete their homework.

This will be sent home every Thursday with a set piece of homework to be completed and handed in by the following Tuesday. 

Weekly homework will include: spellings, times tables, Maths and English. 

There will be a weekly spelling test on Tuesday.

In year 3, your child will be able to access Times Table Rockstars for additional support with their mental recall.

Your child has been provided with a username and password so they can access this at home. We encourage your child to complete the challenges alongside weekly homework. Times tables will also be tested weekly.

PE

PE for each class is on a Tuesday afternoon. 

3AH will also have PE on a Friday morning. 3ML will have an additional PE lesson on Wednesday morning. 

Both classes can stay in their PE kit after school on a Tuesday. It is essential your child has a school uniform to change into after their PE lesson.  

Please make sure your child has their PE kit with them. This includes plain jogging bottoms or shorts, a plain t-shirt or long sleeved top and trainers or pumps. 

Indoor Shoes

Indoor shoes are an important part of our uniform! 

Please send your child with a pair of pumps or other suitable shoes to change into when inside. This protects carpets, keeps indoors clean and gives their feet a chance to dry if their shoes are wet.

Thank you!
