Hello and welcome to Horse Chestnut Class.

Mrs Rushton and Mrs Petrie are our teachers and

Mrs Carty is our Learning Support Assistant.

At the moment, we are learning all about Celts and what their life was like. We will be making our very own roundhouses. We are currently reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone and really enjoying it and hopefully moving onto number 2 very soon! In Science we are learning about rocks and soils.

Example of our Day

Things that help us learn

In maths we are learning our 3s, 4s and 8s times tables and we use Timestables Rockstars to help us learn! We use hit the button in class to help us with our times tables too. Maths bot gives us manipulatives online which we have access to in class.

Our Curriculum Map

In Year 3, we learn about Stone Age, Celts, Romans and many more exciting things! Take a look at our Curriculum Map to see what we are going to learn about throughout our Year 3 journey.

RE

Our learning in RE follows the God Matter's programme provided by the Diocese of Portsmouth. Together, we learn about the Catholic faith and other world faiths through topics such as Prayers, Saints and Feasts, Advent, Lent, and Revelation.

Trips

Normally in Year 3, we go to Roman Fishbourne Palace, Butser Ancient Farm and we walk to Farnborough Abbey. Due to the pandemic, we aren’t able to go on any of our normal trips. We will keep you updated if there are any changes and if we are able to go on any virtual visits.

If you have any questions or there is anything urgent that you think I need to know, please contact the School Office either by phone at 01252 542511 or by email at enquiries@st-patricks.hants.sch.uk.
