Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

Our class teacher is Mrs Lawman and our teaching assistant is Mrs McKendrick.  Mrs Taylor also spends a lot of time with us.

We aim to help every child make the jump from KS1 to KS2 as smoothly as possible.  It is a big step for the children, more responsibilities but also so many opportunities to make the most of.  Our mantra this year is

We can't do this...YET!

Rewards

Good work and behaviour is rewarded in a variety of ways.

• The children can take our class teddy 'Duncan' home to their house for the night.
• Team points are available from all members of staff.
• The children can earn glass pebbles to add to a class pot.  When the pot is full we all get a treat!
• Children can also be nominated for Friday stickers and certificates.

Our Golden rule is:

Treat others as you would like to be treated

We hope you enjoy the year!
