Year 3
We have one year 3 class, based on the St Paul’s Site. Class 3B is taught by Miss Sarah Browne. The class is supported regularly by the teaching assistant team and other auxiliary staff.
Details of the curriculum plans, parent newsletters and assessment resources can be accessed below.
Maths at home
Children learning Maths through real life situations is an excellent way to secure skills and it is always great for children to practise these key skills at home. Below, are some websites that have great Maths games and activities suitable for your child. They explore a range of areas but children should focus on times tables (and related divisions), number bonds (pairs of numbers that add up to a total, usually a multiple of 10) and the four operations.

Every day activities are also brilliant for children to develop their Maths confidence and awareness. For example,
- paying for something themselves at a shop
- trying to add up some items on a shopping list
- working out what time a favourite TV programme will end
- Sharing food into fractions (cutting up a pizza perhaps!)
- Creating data charts and tallies of buses and vehicles they might see
