Year 3G 2021 - 2022

Welcome back to yet another jam packed Summer term. We hope you enjoyed your Easter break and did not indulge too much with the Easter Eggs. Although this is a short term there are lots of exciting things the children will be doing.  

In Maths, the children will be looking at the expanded and compact methods for addition and subtraction. They will also recognise and identify the features of 2D and 3D shapes. Children will be doing some data handling work too.

Our focus in English this term will be stories from other cultures and persuasive writing for advertisements. The children will be building their descriptive writing skills to sell a holiday to the south west coastline of England linking in nicely with our Geography topic.

Our focus in R.E. will be ‘Rules for Living’. This unit will see us looking closely at the Ten Commandments and how they link with our modern laws.  We will also be discussing the difference between rules and laws. 

Computing will see us become communicators! We will be using emails to communicate with our partner and creating a presentation on what we are learning about in class.  We will then be presenting our presentations to the class; we will also be looking at using video conferencing.

Our Geography topic this term is coastlines. We will be focussing on the British coastlines and the wildlife and tourism they generate. We will be visiting Blackpool Sealife Centre and the Blackpool Coastline on the 20^th May 2022 to get a better understanding.

In Art, we will be looking at sculptures specifically creating a model of a sculpture designed to enhance our school environment.

PE is on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Please make sure your child has their PE kit in school on these days.

Make sure you are continuing to read with your children every day at home, even if it’s just a few pages. It all helps to contribute towards their wider learning. Spellings and homework will be given out each week on Friday, spellings to be tested the following Friday and homework to be collected on Wednesday.

All the best,

The Year 3 team
