Our Lady and St Philomena's Catholic Primary School
Year 3
Welcome to Year 3!
Teacher Name: Mrs Urquhart
Teaching Assistant(s): Miss Benson
Summer has been an incredibly busy and diverse journey of discovery for Year 3 so far. In Religious Education, they have been exploring the themes of Dialogue and Encounter, delving into the Old Testament and learning all about Moses and God's people in Egypt. In PE, they have been developing their strength and cardio through playing rounders. We had the incredible opportunity to visit the World Museum's Egyptology collection this term and the class were able to handle 3,000 year old artefacts!

Class Routines:
Our PE days are Thursday and Friday. Please bring a water bottle to school which is stored in our class tray. Please label any items your child brings to school to reduce the chances of items being lost.
Homework / Reading books:
Homework will be given on a Monday to be returned on Friday. We would love it if you and your child would read every night when possible. Reading books and reading records are checked and changed weekly, most often on a Thursday. We would love to see how your child is getting on with their reading at home, so please get those reading records filled!
If you would like to support your child with their multiplication facts, they can use TT Rock stars at home.
Key Dates:
World Museum Trip - Tuesday 9th June 2026

National Year of Reading:
2026 is the National Year of Reading and in Year 3 we are going ALL IN. We want to use pupils’ passions like football, music, gaming, nature, fashion, anything – as the spark that brings reading to life. We have already hosted a book fair and we're looking forward to hearing incredible stories, fantastic poems and learning new facts about our world.
