Year 3
Welcome to the Summer Term in Year 3!
Maths
In Maths, we will be consolidating our learning of place value and operations from the Spring term, with daily arithmetic questions. At the start of the term we will learning about fractions and time. After half term, we will start to learn about shapes, angles, mass and capacity. All children will be expected to revise their times tables at home daily.
English
Our class book for this term is ‘The Firework-Maker's Daughter’ by Phillip Pullman. In English, we will be using our Science topic of Volcanoes and earthquakes to inspire fictional recounts. We will also be discussing and writing our own mystery stories. Furthermore, we will be exploring and performing poetry. Within all our writing, we will be working on a range of grammatical features including the use of fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and continuing to use a range of conjunctions to expand our sentences. Reading, spelling and handwriting will be practiced weekly.
Topic In Geography, we will be studying volcanoes. We will be researching how they made, why they occur and where they occur. We will also look at other natural disasters.
In Science, we will be investigating lights and rocks. We will use our scientific skills to conduct experiments and discuss our findings
In Art, we will be researching, designing and making our own photomontages.
Miss Pooley will be teaching French, Music, Computing and PSHE in PPA over the whole of the Summer term.
