Year 3

Year 3 at John Wood School & Nursery is the start of an incredible learning journey where every child is provided with the best opportunity to develop as a conscientious and accomplished individual. We feel passionately about the importance of teamwork; encouraging children to support one another in their learning and respect each other’s abilities and opinions. We expect this respect to be present in all areas of school life so that every child feels like an important and valued member of our team. This understanding brings confidence and positivity within our year group, allowing children the opportunity to become more independent in their learning in a comfortable and respectful environment.

In Year 3 we have very high expectations of the standard of work we want to see produced. The children are given a number of opportunities to develop and apply their skills across the curriculum. A fantastic staff team and a number of outstanding tools and facilities including the library, forest school, and our exciting excursions provide the children with the best opportunity to develop these skills. In return, we expect Year 3 children to apply themselves in everything they do and to only produce work that is to the best of their ability.

Each year group is also assigned an important role model for the children to research and learn about throughout the school year. We believe that connecting with these famous and influential individuals will not only broaden the children’s knowledge but also inspire them to reach for the stars. Year 3 have been assigned Malala Yousafzai.

We hope that the attitude and expectations generated in and carried throughout Year 3 provide the children with the perfect grounding for a fun, positive and hugely rewarding school life.
