Class Dahl- Year 3 2026 - 2027

Welcome to Class Dahl 2026-2027

We are Team Dahl, and every member of our team is important!

We are all different, with our own strengths, interests and personalities, and we value and respect those differences.

We work together to build positive relationships and create a friendly, supportive environment where everyone feels welcome. We look out for one another, show kindness and respect, and help each other to learn and grow.

We believe that everyone has a part to play in making our class a happy and successful place to be. Our words, choices and actions all make a difference, so we encourage everyone to take responsibility, try their best and learn from their experiences.

We aim to make each day a good one and to keep working towards being the best version of ourselves. Staying on 'Evergreen' is one way we recognise positive choices, effort and our commitment to being a responsible member of Class Dahl.

We celebrate individual effort and achievements in lots of different ways, including Class Dojo points, stickers, certificates and messages home. Each day, we also recognise a 'Champion of the Day', celebrating someone who has shown great effort, kindness or a positive attitude. In P.E., we choose a 'Sports Person of the Week' to recognise effort, participation and improvement.

Most importantly, we value effort, kindness, respect and perseverance. We don't expect everyone to be perfect — we simply encourage everyone to keep trying, support each other and take pride in what they do.

What is Team Dahl like ?

Our Year 3 classroom celebrates the achievements of our pupils. We love to display great work in our classroom and around our school.  Our displays reflect the learning that takes place each half-term and our displays change within each subject topic to reflect current learning and  themes. Our subject based displays are rich in vocabulary, helping to develop our oracy as well as written skills and supports our learning through displaying key information, visual cues, diagrams, as well as displaying our key 'burning questions' which we strive to answer by the end of each unit of learning.   

How can I help my child?

• Read with your child as often as you can asking lots of questions to check their understanding.  Each time they read their school reading book, they will need to complete a reading quiz to check their understanding, before being able to choose another book. 
• Practice times tables as much as you can. We need to know our x3 x4 & x8 times tables. Go to topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10 to practice daily
• Learn the weekly spellings and become familiar with the spelling patterns within the Y3 word lists.  They are published weekly on our Class Dojo.
• Learn to read and write words from the Year 3 & 4 High Frequency word lists. 

If you ever need any help then please contact me on Dojo and I will try my absolute best - just like the children do!
