Welcome to Year 3 – 3GC & 3HE
3GC – Mrs Glendenning
3HE – Miss Eyre
Welcome to our Year 3 page! Our children have made a fantastic start to life in Key Stage 2 and have settled into their new classes brilliantly. We are so proud of their enthusiasm, resilience and growing independence. We, alongside our dedicated teaching assistants, work closely as a team to ensure that all children feel happy, safe and supported during their time in Year 3 at Hartford Primary School.
In Year 3, we love to make learning exciting, engaging and hands-on. As this is the first year of Key Stage 2, we focus on developing independence, encouraging the children to take more responsibility for their learning, belongings and personal organisation — all while having lots of fun!
We follow a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched by a range of topics, trips and memorable experiences. Please click on the link to our curriculum map aobve to find out more about our learning over the year.
