Welcome to Year 3's Class Page

Autumn 2 Term

.

Welcome to the second half of the Autumn Term!

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  Winters Child. 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 addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and practising problem-solving skills, helping children to become confident and resilient mathematicians.

Our Science topic will be Rocks. Children will learn that rocks are made up of minerals. Rocks are grouped based on how they are formed in the rock cycle. The rock groups are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited over time, often at the bottom of oceans and lakes. 

In Art, we will study the work of Hokusai exploring his unique style and using it as inspiration to create our own sculptures.

Our Geography lessons will take us to the physical processes that cause earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions . We’ll be asking questions about  how these are all linked to plate tectonics. Alongside this, children will also enjoy a rich curriculum including History, RE, and other subjects that broaden their understanding of the world.

PE will take place every Monday and Thursday 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.

Warm regards,

Mr McCarthy,
