--- title: "Year 3" url: "https://bishopaldhelms.poole.sch.uk/our-curriculum/year-groups/year-3" school: "Bishop Aldhelm's CE Primary School and Pre School" --- # Year 3 ## Year 3 ### Welcome to Year 3! Welcome to Year 3 and the beginning of Key Stage 2. This is an exciting stage where children build on the strong foundations developed in Year 2 and begin to take greater ownership of their learning. In Year 3, children deepen their knowledge and skills across the curriculum, with a growing emphasis on reasoning, problem-solving and extended reading and writing. Learning becomes more independent and reflective, while still being engaging and supportive, helping children to develop confidence, resilience and curiosity as they adapt to new expectations and prepare for the challenges of Key Stage 2. #### Teaching Staff - Year 3 3CC Mrs Cox - Year 3 3LC Miss Cox - Year 3 3NS Mrs Sheppard #### Teaching Assistants - Miss Fraser - Miss Wright - Miss Hurrell ### Knowledge Organisers In the download list below you will see links to our Knowledge Organisers.
