We have two Year 3 classes

Miss Cowley and Mrs Woodward 

Miss Grant 

Support Staff - Mrs Walkes and Mrs Horton

Autumn term

A new school year brings the opportunity for fresh learning with a renewed sense of energy and Year 3 is the perfect time to deepen friendships and become part of a close and supportive team.  Please continue to ensure your child brings minimal possessions into school. 

When the children have PE, they should continue to wear their Bitham Brook PE kit into school with the school jumper over the top (if weather conditions require a jumper).  Please note the Bitham Brook PE kit is a plain white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit with daps/trainers. Other sports clothing is not acceptable as it is important that, as a school, we have pride in our appearance. School will confirm which days the children have PE in due course.  

For Term 1 we are fortunate to have swimming on Thursdays.  Please can the children have a swimming kit of non-fashion swimwear, a swimming hat, towel and goggles.

Please continue to read at home

Spelling lists can be found on the school website
