Year 3 - Holly 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Holly Class Home Page

My name is Miss Bunney.

I enjoy seeing the children speaking with a loud and proud voice, putting their learning first and challenging themselves in many ways.

I have a passion for dance and other exercise classes, I love going for evening walks and travelling to spend time with family and friends on the weekends. 

Autumn term 2025 - Through the Ages:

In the Through the Ages project, your child will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. They explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. They will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.

Please see our Curriculum Newsletter below for more information on the other topics that we will teaching over the course of this term.

Our Class Reader will be: Ug- Boy Genius of The Stone Age

How to Support Your Child's Learning:

-Practise your child's spellings with them.

-Read (preferably daily) with your child. Try and encourage them to read a range of genre of books and authors. Here are a couple of useful lists of recommended books for Year 3 children:

-Practise times tables with your child. Little and often is often the best way with times tables. Purple Mash is an excellent resource which has lots of times table activities on. Here are a few good websites with games that your child can play whilst also practising their times tables:

Each child has login details for www.timestables.co.uk where they can explore and practise the timestables.
