I am so looking forward to working with all the lovely children in Year 3 and I am sure we will have a fantastic year.

Each Monday you will be sent a newsletter which outlines the learning of the week and also any important notices. 

Important Information: 

Snack 

Snack is available to buy each day from school. Toast is 25p each and a drink is 50p each. They can also bring in their own snack but please make sure it is healthy. 

Homework

Please ensure that children bring in their homeowork book each week. I will be setting homework each Friday. The homework that is chosen will differ based upon what I feel the children may need a bit more support with. 

PE

PE will be on Wednesday afternoons and will be taught by the lovely Mrs Anstey. Throughout the term we will also be using our PE buckets to further enrich the PE curriculum. 

Our curriculum

Literacy 

In literacy, we are learning about the Stone Age Boy by Statoshi Kitamura where we will be focusing on writing our own narratives with hisotrical facts. The children will have opporutinites to expand their vocabulary and perfect their speech. After this story we will be moving onto the story The Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies where the children will be learning all about the blue whale and will write an information text about everything they have learnt.

Maths

In maths we will be focusing on multiplication and divison, length and perimeter, mass, fractions and capacity. This will be a good opportunity for children to practice building relationships between their numbers to solve more advanced questions and revist and review previous knowledge. 

Science

In science our topic is rocks. We will be learning about the different characteristics of rocks, how to categories them, different soils, fossils and the scientist Mary Anning.

History 

In history, we are learning about the Stone Age and comparing what life was like to our own now. 

Art

In art our topic is cloth, thread and paint which I already the children will love. They will have lots of opporunties to experiment with different mediums and practice their embroiding skills.
