Year 3G 2017 - 2018

Welcome back to the second half of the spring term.

In Maths, we will be focusing on: place value, multiplication and division. We will also be concentrating on mental addition and subtraction, continuing with the written methods for both of these. We will also be looking at time, position and fractions.

We will be spending the next two weeks in English looking at non-fiction recounts and then move onto narratives We will also be focussing on grammar as we need to improve our understanding of completing and punctuating sentences.

In Science, we will continue looking at plants. We will be looking at the structure of plants in more detail and focusing on how water is transported. Another focus will be seed dispersal and the life cycle of a plant.

Our Humanities topic this term is Geography. We will be learning about climates around the world! The children will  learn about different types of climate, temperate, desert, polar and tropical. We will be creating our own ‘triorama’ of climates!

Computing will see us become opinion pollsters! We will be designing our own questionnaires which we will be creating on the computer for each of the classes to complete. This data will then be collected and we will be presenting it in tables and graphs.

In French, we will be learning about: manners, numbers, classroom objects and how to greet each other.

In Art, we will be focusing on the artist Antoni Gaudí, where the children will create their own mosaics in the style of Gaudi
