Year 3

Welcome to the class page for Year3, here you will find out some information about the curriculum and class expectations.

In Year 3, we will be aiming to develop our independence as we make the transition into Key Stage 2.  As well as consolidating learning from Key Stage 1, we will aim to provide engaging and exciting learning opportunities to allow everyone to experience success. There will be plenty of opportunites for first hand experiences, practical work, investigating and exploring.

Please take a look at our updated newsletter to find out what we shall be doing this term! I hope you find this page useful, however if you have any questions feel free to contact me at the end of the school day or contact the school office.

Good News from Autumn Term!

Autumn 1

Year Three have settled in fantastically to the Juniors and have had a range of exciting and interesting learning experiences so far. 

In English, the children started the new term reading about The Iron Man and the mayhem he caused. They produced fantastic Threat Narratives concentrating on how terrifyingly treacherous the Iron Man was, and writing a letter to the Town Mayor explaining how to capture him! 

In Maths, we have been building on our Place Value knowledge for 3 digit numbers and using a variety of concrete resources to consolidate this. 

In History, we have explored the three periods of the Stone Age. Through investigating and researching how different life was compared to now, the children have been able to understand how communities have developed!

The children were incredibly enthusiastic during our Science topic last half term.  Children explored the functions of the human skeleton and the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates. 

This half term the children worked incredibly hard during Art lessons creating Prehistoric Art and making their own paints out of natural pigments!

 

Autumn 2

Wow, what a super half term Year 3 have had. The children have continued to settle in wonderfully and impress Miss Bell, Mrs Viera and Mrs Rimmer. 

In Literacy, we have explored the text 'Fox' by Margaret Wild. The children had the opportunity to write their own Fable Narratives and Information Reports. They did a sterling job, including many of the literary features we have learned about and discussed. 

In Maths, the children were able to consolidate their column addition and subtraction skills and explore multiplication and division through learning their 3, 6, 4 and 8 times tables. 

The children were very enthusiastic during out Computing lessons, exploring digital processes, inputs and outputs. They discussed with confidence how there are computer networks made up of different devices and how a network switch works. 

Thank you for all of your continued support.
