Welcome to Year 3 and Team Amber 2026/27

Your teachers are Mrs Bollen and Mrs Bonner

Your teaching assistants are Miss Anxhela, Mrs O'Shea and Mrs Hajzeri

Next week in Maths, we will be developing our mental maths skills. Our core learning objectives are still to focus on mastering the 'make ten' strategy for addition and subtraction. We will be learning how to use the 'make ten' strategy to confidently add numbers that bridge ten, breaking down calculations into smaller and more manageable steps. Alongside this, we will be building fluency in subtraction by learning how to efficiently subtract numbers through ten. We will also be strengthening our knowledge of number bonds.

Next week in English, we will be brainstorming and mapping out our very own adventures inspired by the character Mini Rabbit. Once our brilliant ideas are planned, we will take the exciting leap into writing our very first drafts! Each day we will be adding a new chapter ready to edit and publish at the end of the week.

Next week in our Science, we will continue to observe our plants and record the results. In PSHE, we will be considering how our actions can have positive and negative consequences. In R.E. we will discuss the meaning of the story of Muhammad before creating freeze frames to represent an event from his life.

Team Amber PE days are Tuesday and Wednesdays.

Each Monday we visit the library and each Friday we look forward to receiving Reading Records as we look to celebrate reading at home.
