Year 3 Staff
Mrs Taylor – Class Teacher
Hi! My name is Mrs Taylor and I teach Year 3 at St. John’s. I began teaching at St. John’s eight years ago and have loved every minute of it! I love every aspect of my job and I find teaching incredibly fun and rewarding. In school I am also subject coordinator for Art and Design Technology. I love this role as I personally love teaching Art. Art and D.T. are subjects where children are able to express their imagination, feelings and interests all while having fun and getting very messy!
When I am not in school I love taking my dog Bertie out for lovely long walks and spending quality time with my family and friends.
Mrs Pearson – Class Teacher
Hello. My name is Mrs. Pearson and I’ve been a teacher at St John’s since 2005. I work in Year 3 on a Wednesday.
I have three children and enjoy spending time with them. I also love to bake and spend my days away from school in my kitchen!

Homework
Homework in Year 3 will be as follows:
Monday – Spellings to learn for Friday’s spelling test. It is really important to learn spelling and understand the rule each week.
Very shortly I will be sending home a list of websites that your child can access to enhance learning.
Due to the current situation we will not be sending homework books/ reading journals home. We do not expect spelling sheets to be returned to school.
PE
Physical Education is a compulsory part of the school curriculum, therefore all children will need to come to school in their PE kit. This is plain black shorts, joggers or leggings and a plain black t-shirt. Pupils can wear school jumpers or cardigans over their black t-shirt. These will be removed for the lesson so please make sure they are named. In Year 3, our PE days are Monday and Wednesday.
Reading Books
We are encouraging children to become more independent readers. Children will be choosing their own books and reading during our daily in-class ‘Accelerated Reader’ sessions, they are able to bring these books home but must return them to school daily. Every child will be heard reading regularly in class in our Accelerated Reader sessions and Guided Reading Group sessions where adults regularly assess and monitor your child’s progress.
Attendance & Punctuality
At St. John’s Primary School, we are committed to providing pupils with the best educational opportunities available. To enable pupils to benefit from these opportunities it is essential that parents ensure their regular attendance.
The impact on children’s education through poor attendance, resulting in lost learning, is huge! Our children have already had their education disrupted due to the pandemic and every minute in school counts! To prevent anyone falling behind with their learning, we need to continue to work together to make sure that your child is in school and on time every day. We encourage all of our children to be at school for 8.40am for a prompt start to the day.
Finally, if you have any questions or need any further information about anything to do with school, please ask!
As always, thank you for your continued support.
