Year 3

Welcome to Year 3

Our Team

Mr Lang

I came to St Andrew's in September 2010 having qualified in 2009 with a degree in Primary Education. I joined the school as Year 4 teacher and carried out this role until 2014 before teaching Year 1. Since then, I have worked in year groups 2 and 3 and returned back to Year 4 in 2021. I have enjoyed myself immensely throughout my fourteen years at St Andrews and have continued to build excellent relationships with both staff and pupils. This year, I will continue the role of Computing Subject Leader, Spanish Subject Leader and Educational Visits Co-ordinator.

Topics

The topics we will be covering this year are:

• Autumn 1 - Titanic.
• Autumn 2 - Hyndburn Brook.
• Spring 1 - Learie Constantine.
• Spring 2 - Sustaining my town.
• Summer 1 - Mayan religion and beliefs.
• Summer 2 - Madagascar.

Homework

Children will be set English, Maths and/or Topic homework weekly. The homework will relate to the work we have been doing in class that week or the work we will be doing in the upcoming week. Homework will be set on a Friday and children can receive £3 (School money) if they bring it back on Monday, £2 Tuesday and £1 Wednesday. Homework club will be offered for any children who need a bit of help.

Key Dates to Remember

Your child’s PE lessons will take place on a Tuesday morning meaning children need to bring in their PE kits every week or be left in school. Full PE kit is expected during lessons with pumps that fit in case we decide to work outside and no jewellery is to be worn on this day.

Swimming also takes place each week on a Friday, children need to bring in towels, swimwear (full costume for girls and trunks for boys), swim caps (sold at £3 leisure centre) and an appropriate bag to contain them. Swimwear will be sent home every week after the lesson.

All of us in year three are more than happy to speak with you so please don’t hesitate to come into school and speak to us. Alternatively, we will also be available on Dojo and Seesaw. 

We much appreciate your continued support and look forward to working with you during the coming year.
