Year 3 – Hippopotamus Class

Class Information

Year 3 Class Teacher: Mr D Boreham

Year Group Teaching Assistants: Mrs D Haselden, Mrs R Sandher and Miss S Reid

Welcome to Hippopotomus Class (Year 3)

Welcome to Frog Class! Year 3 is the start of the journey in Key Stage 2. Mr Boreham, the class teacher is supported by the brilliant year 3 team of teaching assistants.

In Year 3, we build the foundations for Year 4 by revisiting familiar subject concepts, such as communicating geographically, but through new topics such as studying rivers and mountains. We love discovering facts about the world around us and people in the past.  One of the highlights of Frog Class is when we earn enough dojos to play a class game, there are many different ones we enjoy!

We have lots of exciting things that happen over the year, including drumming lessons, Polar Express day and a musical extravaganza in term 4!

Lastly, we ensure to follow the national curriculum for the primary curriculum in England for programmes of study and attainment targets for KS2.

Timetable

Our timetable can be downloaded below. Here, parents and pupils have the opportunity to view the class schedule to see the day-to-day routine including the range of curriculum that is covered. We have found that children with SEND have responded well to visually see the structure of the day ahead.
