Miss Green

Phase Leader (Y3 & Y4) / Year 3 Teacher

I have been a teacher for eight years and love to have a sing and a dance in the classroom to make our learning as fun as possible. My favourite lessons are Art, Maths and Geography. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks and spending time with my family.

Miss Child

Year 3 Teacher

I am lucky enough to be 10 years into my teaching career, now teaching Year 3. One of my favourite subjects to teach is History since I am fascinated by how people lived in the past. I also enjoy building children's confidence in Maths as I found it tricky at school myself! In my spare time, I am a keen cook and enjoy long walks with my cheeky, little dog Timmy.

Mrs Wakeman

Teaching Assistant - Year 3

I have worked at Webheath Primary now for 16 years.  I have worked in all year groups except 5 and 6, but my favourite year groups are 3 and 4.

I have two grown up children now, who also attended Webheath School.  In my spare time I enjoy going on holiday and reading.

Mrs Riaz

Teaching Assistant 1:1 - Year 3

I love working with children because they are curious and full of energy. Helping them learn and grow gives me a sense of fulfilment. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Children should read at home for at least 10 minutes three times a week and record it in their homework diaries.  Parents and carers can sign to say that they have heard their child read.

They should also use Times Tables Rock Stars for roughly 10 minutes, 3 times a week.

Homework: Given out on a Friday – back in by the following Thursday.  Showbie will be used for homework as well as paper copies.

• School style pencils

Reading

In KS2 we use the Accelerated Reader Computer Program to develop, manage and monitor children’s reading skills.  The children pick a book within their own ZPD range and read it at their own pace.  We allocate at least 15 minutes a day to reading their book. When finished, they will take a short quiz online in school – this helps to home in on their reading skills and give an indication that they understood what has been read. AR gives both children and teachers feedback on the children’s understanding and reading habits which the teacher then uses to help the children set targets and ongoing reading practice to ensure personal growth.

Daily ‘Book Club’ is also timetabled.  This provides opportunities for the children to work in small groups with an adult to develop reading skills and build a love of reading, and it gives an opportunity to read books of choice for pleasure.

We use high quality text to deliver our English Curriculum and focused reading lessons are taught within a sequence of learning.

Times tables

In Year 3, we focus on all children being able to recall and use the multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.
