Welcome to our Year 3 Syllan Class Page!
Our class is called Syllan because it is the Cornish name for the Isles of Scilly.
Year 3 is such an exciting time for the children as they are starting their journey as a KS2 pupil. Mrs Jackson and Mr Hickman currently share working in this brilliant class.
This year Syllan class will be learning about a range of topic themes. Woven throughout these themes the children will be learning about a range of curriculum subjects including PE, RE, PSHE, French, Music, Art, DT, Science and Computing.
All the children will have the chance to take part in swimming sessions, some during the Autumn term and others during the Spring and Summer terms. They will have Forest Schools in the Autumn term Beach Schools in the Summer Term. They will also receive some Learn To Ride Training through Bike-ability in the Spring Term.

Reading to an adult 5x a week – At Newlyn School we LOVE reading!! Please remember to sign your child’s diary when you hear them read. Reading together is a special time where you can share the imaginative magical journeys that stories can offer. Once you have heard your child read, ask them questions about the text using VIPERS question stems.
Times Tables – Regular practise of times tables with your children will ensure fluency and quick recall. This is essential in year 3 as they will begin their preparation for the Year 4 government multiplication check, where the children will have limited time to answer quick fire questions. The children should know which times tables to focus on and practice their fluency each day as part of their daily maths lesson.
