Here we are, the final term of Year 3! Still lots to learn and lots of fun to be had!

In our English and reading lessons this half term we will be studying the fantastic book Journey which is a actually a picture book so has no words! We will be doing lots of predicting and inferring working hard to improve those skills and then have a go at writing our own version of the story. In our reading sessions, we will be focusing on an information book called ‘Illustrated Atlas of Britain and Ireland’. We will focus on the features of the book and learn lots of interesting facts along the way.

Our focus in Maths will be fractions followed by mass and capacity. We will still be working hard to recall and learn our multiplication facts- don’t forget to use TTRS and push yourself to know as many as you can as quick as possible! You should now know all multiplication facts for the following times tables- x2, x5, x10, x3, x4 & x8!

In RE this half term our topic is To the Ends of the Earth starting with Jesus’ Resurrection on Easter Sunday moving on to look at the Holy Trinity, Pentecost and reminding ourselves of all the important things that happen during mass.  

For DT this term we will be studying British Inventors, looking at some of the wonderful inventions and how they have impacted our lives. We will be growing our computing brains by continuing working on Code Studio for programming and we will be learning about audio visual media. We will also continue to focus on online safety.

As scientists we will be studying Light where we will have the opportunity to carry out some interesting investigations about shadows- how they are formed and how they change. In PE we will be focusing on athletics, lots of running, jumping and throwing skills to be tuned! For History our topic is ‘Ancient Egypt’ we will be learning all about mummies, Tutankhamun and how we are able to know so much about them!

Don’t forget to keep your brains busy at home by accessing all the fantastic online resources we’ve got. Every member of Y3 has a login for IDLS which has both English and Maths activities that are fantastic at supporting and helping your learning- please make sure you use these at home as well as at school.

There are buttons at the bottom of this page that you can click to take you straight to TTRS, EdShed, Google Classroom and more.

We can’t wait to continue your Y3 journey

with you!

Love Mrs Leeson, Mrs Thomas & Mrs Ford
