Welcome to Year 3 

 Year 3 marks the beginning of Key Stage 2 and an exciting new chapter in each child’s learning journey. As pupils move into this stage, they begin to take greater responsibility for their learning and develop increased independence, both academically and socially.

Please have a look at the following information to see what we will be doing throughout Spring 2 

English

 Journey by Aaron Becker

This term in English, we will be exploring Journey by Aaron Becker

This half term, we will be reading Journey by Aaron Becker, a magical story told through pictures. The children will use this book as inspiration to write their own adventure stories, using ideas from the author Berlie Doherty.

In their writing, the children will:

• practise using past and present perfect verbs (e.g. went and has gone)
• use words like prepositions, conjunctions and adverbs to show time, place and cause
• organise their ideas into clear paragraphs
• use a and an correctly

 

                                                                             

                                              

 

Maths

Throughout the year, in maths, we will be following the Red Rose Year 3 Mastery. This half-term, we will be looking at  addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, 2-D shape, Decimal place value and 3-D shape.

If you need any support with the maths units we are covering this term (in regards to any homework that maybe linked to maths), please don't hesitate to contact me via dojo or, speaking to me before or after school.  

Science

                                              

                                                                                   

Foundation Subjects

PE this half term will be on a Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  The children can come to school on these days in their school PE kits.  However, when the weather is colder the children can come in dark coloured tracksuit/joggers.

In RE, we will be looking at Sikhism 

In History, we will be looking at the Ancient Mayans 

 .

Other Useful Information.

Homework will be given out every Friday, to be handed in on the following Thursday.  Children know the expectations are to try and read three times a week (I've said I don't expect them to finish a book but at least 15 minutes each read). If they complete their homework and read, they will be rewarded with Class Dojos and go in the weekly draw for a prize.
