Year 3

Dear Families,

Welcome back Year 3! We hope you have had a lovely half term break! We are looking forward to another half term full of exciting learning experiences. In English, we will be using the wonderful texts 'My Name is Not Refugee' by Kate Milner and 'The Big Book of the Blue' by Yuval Zommer to inspire diary entries, setting descriptions, fact files and poetry. In Maths, we will be continuing to develop our addition and subtraction skills using formal written methods as well as exploring multiplication and division particularly using the 3 and 4 times tables.

In Geography we will investigate the question 'How did it get to my plate?', exploring where certain foods come from and in Science, we are comparing the similarities and differences between humans and other animals. We will also be developing our DT skills by creating a Chinese money wallet.

Our school value this half term is Resilience. We will be encouraging the children to keep trying when learning feels challenging, learn from mistakes and take pride in their achievements.

Please have a look at our Autumn 2 curriculum letter to find out more about what we will be learning this half term. The homework grid and resources can be found below and also on Google Classroom.

Kind regards,

Miss Rzesna and Mrs Courchée
