Year 3 - Doves

We are the..

Doves! 

Hello and welcome to Year 3!  

Staff

I am Miss Galvin and I am delighted to be the Doves' class teacher. We also have Mrs Monk, our incredible TA, supporting the children's learning each day.

You can contact me via the school office.

Curriculum

To find out more about the wonderful things your child will be learning each term, please look at the class newsletter at the bottom of the page.

The Doves' Class Rules

In the Doves class we base our rules around three main things:

1. The right to learn

2. The right to be safe

3. The right to be happy

We make sure that the way we behave ensures that everyone is able to achieve the three things above and that it takes place in a positive, supportive place!

PE

PE takes place each Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child has a full, named kit in school.

Working at Home

Your child will have home learning activities each night so please can you make sure that your child has their purple book bag with them before they set off for school each morning. 

Each Thursday they will bring home two reading books so please ensure that your child reads and has their reading record signed 4 times per week.  Try to ask them finding and thinking questions about what they have read.

Every Thursday they will also bring home their weekly spellings which need to be practised each night.

Homework will be set every Thursday and children are encouraged to return completed on Monday. Activities to be completed will be a combination of written work in their purple folder and online activities on Purple Mash, Mathletics or Times Tables Rockstars. The Doves have their login details so please encourage your child to go on these sites to complete homework linked to the week's learning.
