Year 3 Curriculum Information

Year 3 Curriculum.pdf

It has been so lovely to welcome all of the children back to school. They have been so pleased to see their friends and have settled back into work brilliantly.

Learning- we are focusing on recapping lots of skills in maths. In English, we have been studying The Iron Man. We have done some fantastic writing based on this. In science, we are learning all about plants and in topic we are learning about earthquakes and volcanoes.

Here are a few important pieces of information:

-PE - this takes place on a Tuesday afternoon. The children MUST come to school dressed in their PE kit.

- reading books - due to having to quarantine reading books, we will not be able to change books as often as we have in the past. Please continue to read as often as you can and also read books from home.

- homework will be set on a Wednesday to be handed in the following Monday. This could be English, Maths, Science or Topic based.

- spellings will be sent home on a Friday and tested the following Friday. Please look out for the green book in their bag. It is really important that you spend some time looking over these together.

-snack - children can bring a healthy snack for first play.

Many thanks,

Miss Patton and Mrs Gregory.

All information below relates to last years class (2019 - 2020). It gives you an overview of what the children enjoyed up to lockdown. This year, while following a similar curriculum overview, there will be changes to the content and delivery to meet the needs of the new group of children. Watch this space to see more information and in time see some pictures of the children at work.

We had a great time this morning at the Life Education Van. We learned about the brain and about different parts of the body. We learned about what is healthy for our bodies and what can be harmful for our bodies. We even got the chance to catch up with what Harold the Giraffe has been up to!
