UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
YEAR 3
"Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world" - Roald Dahl
Our Year 3 class is named after the ‘University of Leeds’, which is one of the largest higher education institutions in the United Kingdom. It currently has a ten year academic strategy rooted in a desire to make a difference in the world.
Year 3 is a vital year in school, where children really start to grow-up and become much more independent, as they transition from Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2.
During Year 3 we will develop our knowledge, skills and understanding in each of the core subject areas and other foundation subjects, building on our prior learning already in place from previous years.
We will also experience some new challenges and new learning opportunities in KS2 which may include playing a musical instrument, becoming a member of a enrichment club or speaking a new language.
In Leeds, it will be important for us all to develop our independence, our resilience and our own ideas and interests within learning, to become the best that we can possibly be remembering our school motto of ‘Dream, Believe, Succeed Together’.
MEET OUR TEACHER
MISS PARFITT
Hello! My name is Miss Parfitt and I am the class teacher in Year 3 Leeds and also RE lead within school. I love to learn new things to broaden my experiences and I am currently studying a NPQL in Behaviour and Culture alongside teaching.
My hobbies include reading, cooking and arts and crafts and I would really love for all of the children at Kingsland to share in these experiences by incorporating them into my lessons, through extra-curricular clubs and enrichment days.
UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
YEAR 3
“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be” - Albus Dumbledore
Our Year 3/4 class is named after the ‘University of Manchester’, which is the largest single site University in the UK. Their motto is knowledge, wisdom, and humanity which we as class live by everyday in school.
Children in year 3/4 are taught separately in the mornings in smaller groups. They deepen their learning in English, maths, science, and phonics building on the skills already gained in their previous year group.
Year 4 children are provided with an exciting opportunity to learn the trumpet or clarinet taught by musical specialists. This also provides them with performance opportunities at the town hall and the brass section of the Marines.
All children are encouraged to explore the wide range of enrichment activities provided within school which range from sport, arts and crafts, music to Lego. These clubs are extremely popular and not only give the children the chance to socialise but learn new skills at the same time.
The love of reading is a core element of year 3/4. Children like to share this through various platforms such as reading out loud to the class, buddy reading, reading to the class teacher or simply quiet reading to themselves.
