Y3- Owl Class
Welcome to Year 3
Mrs Purkiss, Mrs Weeden, Mrs Hughes and Mrs Blandford
Welcome to Year 3!
The following information gives an outline of planned work for the Summer term.
English:
Writing:
This term the children will be learning to write in a range of genre, story writing including character and setting descriptions and a newspaper report.
English lessons will be planned and taught using a main text that is linked to our theme for the term. This term's text is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Reading:
I would like children to read as often as possible at home, and they will read regularly in school. I have a selection of reading materials, including newspapers and non-fiction texts, and the children have at least one session per day for reading for pleasure.
Maths:
Please ensure your children continue to learn their 3, 4 and 8 times tables. I would encourage all children to login to TT Rockstars as often as possible.
Our learning will be focused upon telling the time, mass and capacity and length and perimeter.
Science:
This term we will be investigating how our hand span affects our grip strength. The children will develop their scientific vocabulary and conduct a variety of experiments.
Computing:
The children will be following the purple mash scheme of work and learning about internet safety. The children will use computing skills to research other areas of the curriculum.
Geography:
This term Geography will be learning about Antarctica.
Art/ DT:
This term we will continue to develop skills in Art by creating textures with different implements; paint, thread and stitching.
We will mix colours and know which are primary, secondary and tertiary and use a sketch book to collect and develop ideas.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me and I will get back to you.
