Welcome to Hill 3
The Staff:
Miss Patel and Miss Passerini welcome you to Hill 3. We are always more than happy to speak to you about your child, just catch us at the door at drop off or home time, or call and make an appointment.
The Children:
We call ourselves The Dream Team, we love learning and having fun whilst we do. We believe we are stronger and better if we work together as a team. We love asking questions and finding the answers.
Together we follow the school vision - eyes wide open, arms outstretched, curious minds aiming high- and create a classroom where every child can thrive and RAISE.
Upcoming dates:
8th January : Prehistoric history day, a look into the lives of the Stone Age and Bronze Age.
What we are reading ...
The Marvellous Granny Jinks and Me By Serena Holly
This half term:
For our final half term in year three, we have lots of exciting learning to come.
In English we are going to be learning how to write action in a narrative. To help with this we are going to be focusing on a warning text called 'The Canal'.
In maths we are going to be expanding our knowledge of shapes by starting to look at perimeter.
We are going to be showing our uniqueness through still life art, learning how to draw in 3-D, from different angles and using our own items from home to represent us.
In geography we are learning about different land use in both the local area and throughout the UK.
In science, we will be investigating how hand span affects grip strength. However, each lesson will link back to prior learning that has already taken place in year three.
All in all, we have an exciting term ahead.

There is no Forest school at the moment, we will let you know when we are back exploring nature.
Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday.
Homework
Homework is an important way for children to practise and build on what they are learning in school. We really value your support in helping to make this a positive and rewarding experience for your child.
Each week, the children will be given 10 spellings to learn. A spelling sheet for the half term will be sent home and is also attached below, so you can see what’s coming up in advance.
Homework will also be set weekly on Emile, our online learning platform. The children have been sent home with their own login details, which they will need to access their tasks. Emile homework will link to their spellings, times tables, and the Maths topic we are covering that week. Please do take the time to sit with your child and discuss their homework with them, as this makes a big difference to their learning.
Children will also bring home Talk Homework each week to help children develop their “sticky knowledge”, they will also bring home 3–5 key facts each week to share and talk about with you. Discussing these together really helps them to remember and apply what they’ve learned in class.
Finally, the children will take part in our weekly Map Quest challenge in class. This activity is designed to make geography fun while building the children’s knowledge of places and locations.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your child with their homework — working together makes a real difference. We offer a homework club on Thursday lunch times open to any child in Year 3 who wants extra time or extra help completing their homework.
