Year 3

 

Dear Families,

Welcome back! We hope you all had a summer break and are ready for an exciting first half term in Year 3. We are looking forward to a term full of engaging learning experiences as the children settle back into school life.

This half term, Year 3 will explore a range of exciting topics across the curriculum. In English, we will be using the wonderful texts 'Wolves' by Emily Gravett and 'The Tin Forest' by Helen Ward to inspire letters, non-chronological reports, character descriptions and narratives. In Maths, we will be learning about place value, including comparing and ordering numbers up to 1000, before moving on to addition and subtraction using formal written methods.

In History, we will investigate the question 'Who Lived in a House Like This?', exploring Stone Age and Iron Age settlements and comparing them to modern homes. In Science, we will learn all about rocks, comparing different types and finding out how fossils are formed. In RE, we will be exploring the question What Is Real?, thinking about whether Jesus could heal people and looking at his miracles to consider whether there might be another explanation. We will also be developing our art skills by exploring cave art, using scale to enlarge drawings and experimenting with natural pigments and painting techniques.

Our school value this half term is Respect. We will encourage the children to show respect for everyone, celebrating our differences and understanding that we can value others even when we do not always agree. 

We're also excited to be visiting the Natural History Museum this half term — please see below for the curriculum letter and further details, which will be shared closer to the time. All resources will be available on Google Classroom.

We look forward to a busy and enjoyable final half term!

Kind regards,

Miss Rzesna and Mrs Courchée
