Welcome to the Year 3 class page. Here you can find all of the information you need for this year. Year 3 is very important as the children transition from the infants to the juniors.
Please ensure your child is in school and on time every day. If your child is sick, please contact the school office to report them absent.

Reading
Every child has a home reading book bag. Children will take home their reading book on a Monday and it should be returned by Thursday in order to be changed for the following week. Please ensure the green record book has a comment signed by a parent/carer.

Reading Books

Water
Children are encouraged to bring water to drink in the classroom. Please provide your child with a refillable, reusable bottle. This will reduce the amount of plastic waste in our environment. Children can only have water in class.

If your child needs an inhaler, could you please send it in with a name label and instructions on when to take it. All parents must sign a medical consent form in the main Reception to authorise any medicines to be administered by staff.
