Year 3 @ Mount Street Primary 

Welcome to the Spring Term in Year 3!

This year, our class will be named after the inspirational person Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock. She is a British space scientist, who was born to Nigerian parents in London in 1968. She was fascinated by the night sky and wanted to become an astronaut after watching the television programme The Clangers. Maggie saved up her pocket money to buy her first telescope. When she was eight years old, she found out she had dyslexia but this has never been a barrier to her learning and passions. She studied physics and mechanical engineering at university and worked hard throughout her younger years learning about the stars. She has presented many television programmes on space such as The Sky at Night and has written many books on the subject. Maggie visits schools to inspire children to study space and remind them that there are black female scientists. She aims to be a positive impact on girls and remind them that they can overcome any obstacles to achieve their dreams. 

Our Class teachers

Our class teacher is Mrs Clement-Stallard (Mrs C-S) and the class is supported by Miss Knight who is our class Teaching Assistant. Mrs Blunt will also teach the class on Thursdays during Mrs C-S' PPA. Mrs C-S leads history across the school.

If you haven't already done so, please sign up for our Class Dojo. Here you will find messages from your class teacher that will help you keep up to date with what is happening in class and any forthcoming events. You can also send a message to your child's class teacher via Dojo and they will get back to you as soon as possible.

Games and PE:

Children will need to wear their PE kits to school on our PE days. Please make sure that they are wearing their kit on the correct days only – Wednesday and Friday. I will always let you know via Dojo if this changes for any reason. Children with long hair MUST have it tied back for PE lessons and stud earrings MUST be covered with tape (that is brought from home) or they will need to be removed.

E-Safety

As so many of us are spending more and more time online, it is important that the children have a secure knowledge of how to be safe.  We will discuss various issues regarding this each week.  If your child or yourself have any questions linked to their online world, then please do not hesitate to get in touch or have a look at some of the links below.
