Year 3 | Cookham Dean CE Primary School

Welcome to Year 3!

I have some exciting topic days and trips planned for this year and I am looking forward to lots of creative learning taking place in our classroom.

At the beginning of each term your child will be given a pick and mix homework sheet, it is expected that all children should complete at least three of these activities each term.

We love seeing any topic work that you have completed at home and positively encourage you to bring in items relevant to the topic to share with us.
