Year 3

Welcome from the class teacher

Hi my name is Tabby Hopwood and I’m the Year 3 teacher at Parkside. Teaching Year 3 is brilliant, the children are just starting on their journey into Key Stage 2 and love discovering all the opportunities available to them on the other side of the school - including the carousel and starting to learn French!

Over the year we learn about lots of different things. Our main topics are Through the Ages (all about the Stone Age to the Iron Age),  Rocks, Relics and Rumbles (about the Earth including volcanoes and earthquakes) and Emperors and Empires(about the Romans in Britain). We build on everything that they already know from Year 2 to develop their science and maths understanding. Lots of the maths we do lays the foundation for future understanding. I have a passion for English and love to see the Year 3s using everything they learned in Key Stage 1 to become fluent readers and develop a love of reading. We are always sharing stories and poems and the children are encouraged to share their own writing with the class - they are all budding authors! Year 3 is a fab year!
