Welcome to Year 3's Class Page

Spring 2 Term

.

Welcome to Spring 2.

We have an exciting and engaging half term ahead, full of opportunities for learning, creativity, and discovery.

In English, our work will follow the Year Three curriculum, with a particular focus on the inspiring book  The Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies This text will guide much of our reading, writing, and discussion, encouraging the children to explore ideas through storytelling and creative writing.

In Maths, we will be developing a secure understanding of multiplication, division, length, perimeter and helping children to become confident and resilient mathematicians.

Our Science topic will be Plants. This half term in our science lessons we will be identifying and describing the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers. We will explore the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil, and room to grow) and develop our oracy skills to explain how they vary from plant to plant before investigating the way in which water is transported within plants

In Art, we will study then work of Jun Kaneko is a Japanese-born American ceramic artist known for creating large scale ceramic sculpture

Our Geography lessons examine population and the impacts we have on our planet. We will examine pollution and climate change. 

PE will take place every WEDNESDAY so please ensure your child comes prepared with their kit.

It is going to be a wonderful term of learning and growth, and I look forward to working together with you to support your child’s journey in Year Three.

Weekly reminders:

• English and Maths homework will be set via Century on Mondays and will be available for a week.
• Spellings are tested on Friday.
• Number Sense timestable tests will take place every day.
• Each day, your child should come to school and come home with their reading book and a library book. They can change these in school as soon as they have been read. Please do encourage them to read regularly and listen to them to read out loud wherever possible.
• Children should also be maintaining their speed and accuracy with their times tables knowledge - Times Tables Rockstars is available for this purpose.
