--- title: "Team Badgers (Year 3)" url: "https://streethayprimary.org.uk/our-classes/team-badgers-year-3" school: "Streethay Primary School" --- # Team Badgers (Year 3) - Welcome to Team Badgers - Learning Updates and Homework Our Year 3 class is called ‘Badgers’. We chose this name because a clan of badgers were known to be located in the field where the school was built. We think Year 3 is a vital year, where children develop more autonomy, independence and the confidence to explore their own interests and talents. ### Our Approach to Learning Year 3 is a year in school, where children really start to grow-up and become much more independent, as they transition from Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2. In Team Badgers, it will be so important to us all to develop our independence, our resilience and our own ideas and interests within learning, to become the best we can possibly be. In Key Stage 2, the curriculum consists of three core subjects and a variety of foundation subjects, some of which will be new to the children as they move from KS1. During Year 3, we will develop our knowledge, skills and understanding in each of these subject areas, adding to the building blocks of learning already in place. Core subjects: Maths, English Science Foundation Subjects: History, Geography, Art and Design, Design and Technology, Modern Foreign Languages, Computing, Music, PSHE, RE and PE. It will be important for children in Team Badgers to be really secure in basic key skills: maths fluency, multiplication tables and using our phonics knowledge to spell. Practising these at home, will be crucial to support children’s learning to allow easier application in our daily learning. Knowing how to be a successful learner will be key to tackling the challenges we will face in KS2. Developing our Streethay character traits throughout the year will be so important to our success: resilience, curiosity, optimism, craftsmanship, empathy and eloquence. Our classroom environment will continue to reflect the calm and nurturing experience, the children have had so far at Streethay, keeping the classroom minimal, homely and inspiring place for children to learn and grow. The team will get to experience some new opportunities, such as; learning to play the Ukulele and speaking in French. In Team Badgers, we endeavour to develop good relationships between school and home, through shared dialogue and regular communication. We want you to feel involved in your child’s education and be part of our successful team. Go Team Badgers! If you are a parent and have any questions or queries relating to your child’s learning, you are always most welcome to speak us in person, through an arranged appointment via the office, or via the Famly app We look forward to a brilliant year! We believe that homework is an excellent way for children to share learning with their families, as well as enabling them to practise and rehearse what they are learning in our school setting. Each week a learning newsletter with suggested homework tasks is sent out on Family app and the Showbie app by the class teacher. In KS2 all homework tasks will be set through the Showbie app. Here you will find tasks and worksheets that the children will be required to complete. Work can be completed electronically directly onto these sheets or photos and videos can be uploaded. All children in KS2 know how to access their homework and how to complete it via Showbie. At Streethay we love to celebrate achievements and milestones outside of school also. Please message the class teacher with any news, photos or videos using the Family app. Please use the link below to access the Family in-app help centre if you are unsure on any aspect around using the Family app. #### ### Curriculum Overviews Badgers Autumn 2 Curriculum Overview 572 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Autumn_2-_Badgers.pdf) Autumn 1 Curriculum Overview 954 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/files/documents/Autumn_1_-_Badgers(4).pdf) #### ### Parent Support Team Badgers ### ### Support and Resources Team Badgers TT Rockstars - [Times Tables Rock Stars: Play (ttrockstars.com)](https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/66855) Top Marks Maths Games - [Hit the Button - Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)](https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button) Top Marks English Games - [Spelling and Grammar, English Games for 7-11 Years - Topmarks](https://www.topmarks.co.uk/english-games/7-11-years/spelling-and-grammar) ### Related Blog Posts [2026-05-19-09-50-computing-cyber-hunt-in-badgers](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-05-19-09-50-computing-cyber-hunt-in-badgers)19 May 2026 #### [Computing Cyber Hunt in Badgers!](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-05-19-09-50-computing-cyber-hunt-in-badgers) [2026-05-08-14-24-singing-in-team-badgers](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-05-08-14-24-singing-in-team-badgers)8 May 2026 #### [Singing in Team Badgers!](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-05-08-14-24-singing-in-team-badgers) [2026-04-24-16-48-french-singing-in-team-badgers](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-04-24-16-48-french-singing-in-team-badgers)24 April 2026 #### [French singing in Team Badgers](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/2026-04-24-16-48-french-singing-in-team-badgers) [View All Posts](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/blog/index/tag:team-badgers) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2418.3202510376886!2d-1.800952023240376!3d52.69031172360623!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a0711bf9ea9e3%3A0x5a8c14381d12cd24!2sStreethay%20Primary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sen!4v1689241333691!5m2!1sen!2sen) ![Streethay Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/streethay-primary-school/images/logo/Footer_Logo.png) **Streethay Primary School** Yoxall Way Streethay Lichfield WS13 8FT Tel: 01543 396180 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### School Opening Times - We are open 7:30am-6pm - The official school day runs from 8:35am-3:15pm - Before school club runs 7:30am-8:35am - After school club runs 3:15pm-6pm - The school office is contactable by phone 8am-4pm ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/StreethayPrimary) - [X](https://twitter.com/StreethaySchool) © Copyright 2023–2026 Streethay Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://streethayprimary.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
