Welcome to Year 3 2022–23

Dear Parents, 

We are delighted to be welcoming our DBIS children back to the Primary School for the academic year 2022–23. To our new families, welcome! We are delighted your children will be joining our community.

The Year 3 teaching team are very much looking forward to learning with your children this year. Year 3 marks a new phase in your child’s journey as they leave the Early Years and join the Primary section of the school. It is characterised by increasing independence and fluency in many social and academic skills.

In Year 3, our learning journey will be led through exciting Discovery Units, extending the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding in a Mastery approach in Reading, Writing, Maths and Science. This year, our Discovery Units will explore concepts related to significant people who changed the world, the development of ancient civilisations, the science of light and sound, and the active nature of our planet.

We also have a wealth of opportunities planned to develop your child’s creativity, resilience and ability to collaborate and think in dynamic ways. These include:

  • Forest and Beach Schools, where the children will develop their own ancient civilisation.
  • A performance on Thursday 30th March 2023 to showcase the learning from the light and sound unit. 
  • A day trip in Term 3 to explore the landforms and geology of South Lantau. This will culminate in an overnight camp at school. (Exact dates TBC).

The teaching team are very much looking forward to meeting with you all during the Parent–Teacher Conferences on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th August. To enable us to focus on your child, please find below a link to an introduction to your class teacher and Year 3. We hope this will provide you with further insight into your child’s year.
