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

In English this term we will be looking at the book 'Zeraffa Giraffa' which follows the amazing story of a giraffe's journey from Africa to France. The children will be using the book to create their very own leaflet persuading people to visit the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. In our reading sessions we will be reading the book 'Egyptian Cinderella' where we will compare it to the traditional story we all know and love and develop our reading skills. 

In maths this half term we will be continuing our learning about money, time, shape and statistics. Making sure that we know lots of important maths facts and be able to apply them. We will still be practising and rehearsing our multiplication facts and doing our best to remember and recall as many of them as possible.

In RE this half term our topic is Dialogue and Encounter we will be making links between Exodus and The Last Supper. We will deepen our knowledge of the Jewish faith and learn about The Passover in greater detail, including some of the key signs and symbols associated with it.  

Science lessons will focus on our skills and knowledge of scientific investigations. We will carry out some fun experiments such as making a solar oven and baking cakes and will work on the stages of investigating such as prediction, method and conclusions.

In our Geography lessons we will be learning about the world- continents, countries and capital cities. We will also focus on climate and time zones and compare the UK with a different place in the world. We will think about how the human and physical features differ.

Sculpture is our focus in art and we will be thinking about how art can improve an area. We will design and make our very own sculptures to enhance and improve our outside classroom. 

In computing we will continue to develop our skills in coding and focus on audio visual media. We will also continue to learn about internet safety and think about how we can stay safe online.

In PE we will be honing our hockey skills and working hard to maintain possession of the ball. We will be working together building communication and collaboration with our team mates.

Don’t forget to keep your brains busy at home by accessing all the fantastic online resources we’ve got.

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 complete your Y3 journey

with you!

Love Mrs Leeson, Mrs Thomas & Mrs Ford
