Welcome to Malden Manor Primary School

Welcome to Malden Manor, where our aim is to provide an educational experience of the highest quality for all the children in our care. By creating an inclusive and stimulating learning environment, we seek to capture pupils’ interest, extend their knowledge and raise their aspirations. Our teaching and learning is designed to bring learning to life, both in the classroom and through a variety of inspiring experiences in the wider community. In line with our objective of being the best we can be, we encourage children to take an active role in their education, developing the skills they need for independent learning. Parental involvement is vital for children to achieve their best so it is encouraged at every stage of learning.

Malden Manor is a vibrant and welcoming community in which we strive for the highest standards of attainment – whether academic, artistic or sporting. We find and nurture hidden talents, celebrating the strengths of every child.

Our expectations in terms of both learning and behaviour are high and the children respond with delightful enthusiasm, politeness and consideration for others. Our broad curriculum and rich programme of extra-curricular activities – including the popular breakfast and after-school clubs – provide a well-rounded education, supported by excellent pastoral care. Together with my team of dedicated staff and governors, I invite you to visit the school to see for yourself the fantastic opportunities it offers your child.

Year 3

So what happens in Year 3?

Year 3 is the beginning of Key Stage 2 so a bit of a change from year 2.

Here’s what our classrooms look like.

You will be learning with Mrs Rickards and Mr Gibbons.

 Year 3

We have a book corner and still use lots of practical resources. You will have your own space with your own tray under the table for keeping your pencil case, whiteboard and reading book in.

We have lots of exciting topics to help us learn all sorts of science, history and geography as well as continue to improve our reading, writing and maths.

To help with our learning in Year 3 we have some exciting events throughout the year such as a visit to Wisley for our science. We have themed dress up days for our Egyptian topic and world book day. You’ll get plenty of notice when the time comes for each of these.

 

Some important things to know about Year 3

Please make sure to bring in your water bottle every day, filled with lovely fresh water.

Bring in a healthy snack for morning break such as Fruit to help keep you going until lunch time!

We have PE on Mondays and Wednesday days. It’s easier to just bring your PE kit in and leave it in school but if you do take it home then make sure it’s in class for those days. You can find out what our PE kit consists of by clicking here. If you have long hair this should be tied back.

We read as a whole class every day and would also like you to read at home every day and record what you do in your reading record. Make sure that it comes to school in your Book Bag every morning so we can see what you have been enjoying reading at home. This will mean that your book will be in school ready should you need to change it or if you need to read individually with somebody.

Your homework will be set via google classroom on a Thursday and it is due back by the following Tuesday. For maths and english you will be given weekly workout workbooks.

By the end of Year 3, you are expected to know the 2,3,4,5, 8 and 10 times tables. You can practice them using the websites suggested on the google classroom.
