Hello and welcome! In Year 3 we work extremely hard to ensure that children leave Abbey Hulton Primary School having achieved the best they can in all areas. We encourage children to become resilient, enthusiastic and independent learners, who show integrity, tenacity and pride.
Year 3 is an important time of year as children begin to settle into Key Stage 2 and we do this in a caring, nurturing manner whilst encouraging them to become resilient, enthusiastic and independent learners, who show integrity, tenacity and pride.
Teaching and learning in Mathematics follows the National Curriculum, which teaches the following main areas: place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, measure and statistics.

We encourage children to read every day at home. We expect the children to read at least 3 times a week at home and they must bring their reading book and diary in to school every day! They receive reading miles for doing so and could win the reading miles prize at the end of the year. We complete reading lessons every day and use this time to explore the class text as well as lots of different text types. Here we develop our understanding of comprehension and language whilst fostering a love of reading.
Throughout the year we will be covering many fun and exciting topics following the curriculum!
