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 the first half term

English

The Winter's Child

This term in English, we will be exploring Winter’s Child by Angela McAllister.
This enchanting story provides a wonderful opportunity to expand the children’s vocabulary and introduce new literary devices such as similes. Throughout the unit, pupils will engage in rich discussions, creative activities, and focused language work.

The unit will conclude with the children planning and writing their own fantasy stories, inspired by the themes and imagination found in Winter’s Child.

 

 

                                                                             

 

 

Maths

Throughout the year, in maths, we will be following the Red Rose Year 3 Mastery. This half-term, we will be looking at  multiplication, division, time and 3-D shapes.

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

                                             During this half term, we will be investigating Forces.

                                                                                   

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 Islam and what a  good role model looks like. This will be focussing on stories of Prophets such as Mohammad (PBUH)

In geography this term we will be looking at counties in the UK. This is a very exciting topic and I know the children will enjoy learning about the different counties in the UK and discussing the features of different counties.

In French, we will be learning how to speak and write colours and numbers.

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.
