Welcome to year 3!
Year 3 is the start to your child’s Key Stage 2 learning journey. Throughout this year, we promote and actively encourage your children to build upon the skills they learnt in Key Stage 1 and develop their independence.
Hello. My name is Mrs. Masters and I am the class teacher in Year 3. I have been working at Hylton Castle Primary school since 1996 and I just love working with all of our children and parents. I am now teaching the children of pupils that I once taught, which makes me feel very old!
I love to spend my time travelling with my family and visiting different cities and countries. I also love to eat out, visit the cinema and always enjoy a delicious piece of cake on my regular shopping trips! More recently I have developed a love of gardening and I love nothing more than sitting in my garden on a sunny day enjoying all of my hard work.
Hello. My name is Mrs. Collins and I have worked at Hylton Castle Primary School for over 20 years. I have two children. We love going to the cinema, reading and walking along the beach together.

Pupils will receive certificates for the number of words/books read so please try to encourage their regular use of this in addition to their daily reading book.
- Your child will be tested every term to re-assess their reading age and which level reading book they need to access. This will depend upon their reading fluency and their comprehension of the text they have read.
- Reading should be fun, so please encourage your child to read any other materials that they enjoy. The more reading the better! ?
