Welcome to Year 3!

We have a very exciting Autumn Term ahead of us!

This term looks as follows:

In Maths we will be focusing on place value, addition and subtraction and finishing with multiplication and division.

In English, we will have fun writing our own fairy tales, poetry, historical fiction and play scripts.

We have lots of exciting questions to answer in our other lessons too!

Including...

History: Would you prefer to live in the Stone Age, Iron Age or Bronze Age?

Geography: Why do people live near volcanoes?

RE: What kind of world should we live in?

Science: How are shadows formed? How are different rocks and soils formed?

We will also be completing lots of exciting projects this term!

In DT we will be creating a recipe that is healthy and nutritious whilst learning about the importance of eating seasonally.

In art we will be learning drawing skills and creating botanical drawings.

In computing we will be programming an animation and a game.

In PSHE we will be thinking about how we can build a supportive class team and celebrating difference.

In music we will learn to sing and play along with the song 'Let your spirit fly' and listen and appraise other music.

In Spanish we will learn how to greet people and ask them how they are feeling, the colours and numbers to ten, followed by a unit about fruits.

PE kit

Can pupils please wear their full PE kit on Fridays. This is a white top and school burgundy shorts with trainers. When the weather is cold, pupils may wear a plain tracksuit.

Forest School

Forest school will take place on Friday afternoons. Please can we ask that children bring a change of footwear and socks, wellies are preferable but any spare footwear will do. This will ensure that all the children can enjoy these sessions whatever the weather outside and have warm and dry footwear to change back into afterwards.

We look forward to a very interesting and exciting Autumn Term ahead!
