River View Primary & Nursery School
Year 3
Welcome to Year 3!
The teacher in Tulips is Mrs Mansbridge and the teacher in Orchids is Mr Holloway.
Miss Cope is the teaching assistant who supports across both classes.
Timetable
Homework
This year, we have a new reading incentive in place and it is called 'Takeaway Treats'. Your child has a loyalty card in school and in order to earn stamps, they must read for the number of times shown for each half term.
Please log any reading onto Boom Reader, which will be checked weekly by your child's class teacher.
We also encourage the use of TT Rockstars. Your child has a log in for this and a copy of this has been sent home with your child. Battles will be set and house points will be given to children who spend time on this app at home. Research shows that spending 15 minutes on TT Rockstars at least three times a week supports your child with developing their multiplication fact recall.
Year 3 Stars!
At River View, we love to celebrate our achievements! Every Friday, we attend a celebration assembly and celebrate those who have demonstrated amazing RICHER values or have worked hard in maths and writing. Look below to see the Star Writer, Maths Superheroes, and Richer Champions within our year group.
Current Topic
During this half term, we are journeying back in time to the Stone Age, finding out everything we can about their civilisation and how our lives today are affected by them.
Maths
During Autumn one, we are learning all about addition and subtraction and column method.
Writing
In Autumn 1, we read 'The Wilderness' and wrote a 'Guide to the Wilderness'. We then moved onto our next text, 'Leon and the Place Between' and worked towards writing a fantasy narrative.

Exciting Learning Opportunities
Good To Be Green
At River View, we follow the 'Good to be Green' system. All children begin the day on green. Children who listen and follow the classroom/school rules and RICHER values, stay on green. If children do not, the following applies:
- First warning and a reminder
- Stop & think card is issued
- Yellow card is issued
- Red card is issued
If a 'stop and think' or yellow card is issued, children have ten minutes to correct their behaviour in order to return to green. Restorative conversations will take place if a red card is issued; parents will be notified of red cards either in person/telephone call and a copy of the restorative conversation will be emailed home on the day that the card was issued.
Please consult our behaviour policy in the first instance should you have any further questions.
Online Safety
We take online safety incredibly seriously here at River View and throughout the year, educate the children about the importance of staying safe online and how to do it.
Here are some websites you may like to look at and discuss with your child.
