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 Summer 2 

English

A stage full of Shakespeare Stories

This term in English, we will be exploring A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories.

This half term, we will be exploring a range of Shakespeare stories. The children will learn about significant aspects of William Shakespeare’s life and work, including the Globe Theatre in London. They will use their knowledge to write an informative fact sheet about Shakespeare and create a guide for visitors to the Globe Theatre. Through this unit, pupils will develop both their reading and writing skills while learning about an important figure in history.

In their writing, the children will:

•  Use specific and some technical vocabulary
•  Write in present tense (except historical reports) 
• Use layout features, e.g. questions to draw in the reader, headings and subheadings, paragraphs to group related ideas, diagrams.
•  Write in a logical order

                                                                             

                                              

 

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.

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.
