Year 3AS

This term in English we will be learning about the Stone Ages and writing a portal story about being transported back in time! We will also complete a non-fiction text where we will write a set of instructions. In our Guided Reading lessons, we will look at a range of text and question types encouraging pupils to read a broad selection of genres and styles. Please can you encourage children to read regularly at home and record this in their reading record.

In Maths, we will be consolidating knowledge of place value and moving on to completing addition and subtraction involving three-digit numbers using a formal written method. This year in Year 3, we will focus on learning the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables. In Science, we will first cover Rocks and Fossils before moving on to learning about Light including reflections and shadows.

This term in History our unit Stone Age to Iron Age will supplement our writing in English and give children an insight into prehistoric Britain. In Art, we will complete Stone Age paintings. In Geography, we will learn about Food, Farming and Counties in the UK. This links to our DT topic of seasonal foods where we will be cooking!

Homework will be given out each Friday to be returned the following Friday. There will be one piece of either maths or English that links to current learning.

In 3AS, PE will be on Monday morning and Wednesday afternoon. School PE kit consists of a plain white t-shirt, black hoodie and plain black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and trainers or pumps. Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit to bring into school on their PE day.

Please keep in touch using Class Dojo as we will be updating you will important information and notices on there. We will be available outside after school if you have any concerns or questions.

We look forward to the term ahead and we are excited for a brilliant year!
