Year 3G 2022 - 2023

Welcome back to the first term in Year 3. I hope you are all ready for the fun year ahead. 

What will we be learning?

Maths

In maths, we will start the term by focusing on addition and subtraction using a number line. This wil be expanding on the knowledge taught in Year 2. 

English

In English, we are focusing on the book 'I'll Take you to Mrs Cole' by Michael Foreman. The children will be making predictions, exploring unfamiliar words, creating character descriptions and writing their own version of the book. To further our understanding of our science topic, the children will explore rocks and minerals to create a non chronological report. 

Geography

In Geography, our topic is 'Where On Earth Are We?' We will focus on the the different ways to read looking at where we are in the world and how we would go about finding ourselves using a mix of digital and traditional methods. 

Science

The Science topic this term is Rocks and Soils. The children will learn to identify the different types of rocks, how they are used and why.

RE

This term in RE, will see a focus of prophets surrounding our “Called by God” topic. This is very exciting and contains lots of stories from the Bible, with a reflective theme of repent, forgiveness and quests. Each RE lesson will contain a time for reflection where the children will be encouraged to consider their thoughts and actions in daily life and how to further improve these in order to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. We will also be starting our Harvest topic and begin to look at the Old Testament stories from the Bible.
