Welcome

A very warm welcome from the Year 3 Team. In the team we have Mr Smithurst, Miss Benton, Mrs Sampson, Mrs Kirk, Mrs Hind, Miss Winfield and Mr Andrew.

We all can’t wait for the year to begin. This half term we will be focusing on History, in particular ‘Stone Age to Iron Age Britain. In art we are exploring drawing which will be linking to our history topic through creating brilliant cave drawings. Our two main English books this half term are ‘Perfectly Norman’ and ‘The Iron Man’ which we are all so excited to read! We look forward to this half term with you all.

Who's who?

Hi! I’m Miss Benton and I am so excited to be teaching the dolphin class this year. Outside of school I like playing netball and love to see children getting involved in the sport. My favourite subject to teach in school is history as I like to find out interesting facts about the past! I can’t wait for the year to come!

Hello everyone, I'm Mr Smithurst and my class are the Wolves, also known as the Wolf Pack. My class know that I love all sports and will often spend my time talking about playing and watching football. My goal is to ensure every child loves coming to school and learning every day. I am passionate about Reading and love immersing into our favourite books, which we will have plenty of.
