Welcome to Hitch & Graham's Hedgehogs!

We are Miss Hitch and Mrs Graham and we are really looking forward to having an amazing year with you all.  Miss Hitch, our phase leader,  will teach Hedgehogs on a Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday morning and Mrs Graham will teach the other Wednesday morning, then every Wednesday afternoon through to Friday.  We are both new to year 3 and cannot wait to get started with the new interesting learning we have planned.
In Key Stage 2,  we have some new subjects and lessons that you start to learn. The first being the new subject MFL where you will learn to speak French, German and Spanish as well as learning all about what life is like in these countries. In Year 3, you will all get the opportunity to go swimming. For Hedgehog class, we will be going on Thursday afternoons during Autumn term 1.
In September, we start our Geography topic answering the question Where can you find liquid Rock? This involves looking at volcanoes and how they are formed. We have lots of new texts to explore during English, the first book Escape to Pompeii will link to our Geography learning.  Our Science topic is Animals including humans which will build on learning you have done in Key Stage 1.  We start year 3 Maths looking at Place Value and move on to addition and subtraction. In DT, we will look at shell structures where we will design and make our own. 
In Autumn 2, we will be going on a school trip on Thursday 8th November to Skelton Grange to kick start our history topic all about the Stone age. At Christmas, we will be doing some collaborative learning with year 3 all about The Christmas Carol, we can't wait to show you it! 
We have lots of other exciting things planned for throughout Year 3 so watch this space!
