Welcome to Year 3
The Year 3 class team for 2024/25 includes the class teacher, Mrs West and teaching assistant, Mrs Woodward. Mrs Jeffrey teaches the class on a Monday.
The children have an exciting year to look forward to, including learning about the Stone Age, Antarctica, ways to solve problems in mathematics using a range of methods, writing in different styles, learning French, creating cave art, tasting seasonal produce and creating our own experiments in science. We hope that the children enjoy their educational journey whilst in year 3.

At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.
These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.
Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.
Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.
Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.
And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.
Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
