Welcome to Year 3 

I hope you have had a lovely Easter – I cannot believe we are now entering summer term; this year is truly flying by! Please find a copy of Class 3’s curriculum overview for this term.

​

In Science, we will be finishing our Plants unit, before progressing onto Rocks and Soils. In Topic, Class 3 are becoming explorers in their thematic unit, ‘Picture Our Planet’. This topic is mainly geography based, with learning focused on Fiji, Brazil, and Scotland. In English, the children will continue to apply and develop taught features in a range of genres, including non-fiction, fiction-recount, and persuasive writing.

 

As mathematicians, pupils will be learning how to subtract 3-digit numbers using the column subtraction method, then our focus will shift onto the 2, 4 and 8 times tables. Alongside these units, pupils will continue to practise their times tables as well as reasoning and word problems.

​

PE sessions will continue to take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday. As we are approaching the warmer months, can I kindly ask that pupils are provided with appropriate PE kit and suncream (if necessary) - PE kit is still available to purchase from the school office.

​

Homework will continue to be given out on a Friday with tasks alternating between Maths, English and Science and spellings will be given out every Monday, with tests taking place on the following Monday.

Ukelele tuition will still take place on Monday afternoon and pupils will be sent home with ukuleles to practise any key skills and pieces of music.   

​

Thank you for your ongoing support, it is greatly appreciated! If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kindest regards,

Miss Morris

Class 3 Teacher
