Year 3 2025 - 2026
Welcome to Year 3 at Causeway Green Primary School
Year 3 is for children aged 7–8 and marks an exciting milestone as pupils move into Key Stage 2. For those joining us from Year 2, this can also mean settling into a new Key Stage as they become part of the youngest year group in the Juniors.
In Year 3, children enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum that builds on their earlier learning while introducing new subjects and skills. Alongside continuing to develop confidence in reading, writing and maths, pupils begin to explore areas such as History, Geography, Science, and even a modern foreign language - Spanish - Hola!
There is a stronger focus on spelling, grammar and writing, as well as moving towards more formal methods in maths. This stage of learning encourages independence, curiosity and resilience, helping children grow in confidence as they take their first steps through Key Stage 2.
Year 3 Reading - read every day and make a note of this in your reading diary - you could be a Roarsome Reader!
