Welcome to Year 3!
We are excited to welcome you to Year 3 and our learning journey full of curiosity, challenge and new opportunities to grow. As children begin their Key Stage 2 journey, we support them to become confident, independent learners who enjoy discovering the world around them.
In our classroom, we live out our school vision every day:
We are Ready, we are Respectful, we are Safe.
- Ready to learn with enthusiasm and a positive mindset
- Respectful of ourselves, each other, and our learning environment
- Safe in the way we move, speak and make choices
These values guide everything we do and help us create a calm, caring and successful place to learn.
This year, children will explore exciting topics, deepen their skills in reading, writing and maths, and take on new responsibilities as role models in Key Stage 2. We encourage every child to ask questions, try their best and believe in themselves — because in Year 3, every success is celebrated in order to SHINE.
We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, creativity and achievement.
Together, we will make Year 3 a brilliant and memorable chapter in your child’s journey.

Year 3 Swimming (See picture of swimming kit required for the session)
At Brookfields Primary School, Year 3 pupils will take part in swimming lessons as part of the National Curriculum for Physical Education. Swimming is an important life skill that helps children develop confidence, water safety awareness and physical fitness.
During their swimming lessons, children will work towards the National Curriculum objectives, which include:
- Developing confidence and competence in the water.
- Learning and improving a range of swimming strokes.
- Swimming competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance.
- Understanding and demonstrating essential water safety skills.
- Learning how to stay safe in and around water and knowing what to do in an emergency.
Lessons will focus on building water confidence, improving technique, developing stamina and encouraging children to become safe and independent swimmers. Children will be supported at their individual level, whether they are beginners or already confident in the water.
Parental support is vital to your child's success. We strongly encourage families to ensure their child attends every swimming session wherever possible. Regular attendance helps children build confidence, develop their skills consistently and make the best possible progress throughout the programme.
Together, we can help every child develop the skills and confidence needed to stay safe in and around water while enjoying the many benefits that swimming provides.
