This half-term we will be studying the Human Body, in particular healthy eating and the human skeleton. In Geography we will look at the World Map and use mapping skills to locate countries using 4 figure references and compass points. In English we will be investigating fables and writing our own version then towards Christmas we will be going on a journey with the Jolly Postman and writing our own persuasive letter to various characters from traditional tales. In DT we will be investigating moving parts in books and making our own to complement our fable. |
PE
PE lessons this half term will be Monday & Wednesday.
To avoid bringing lots of things to and from school, we ask that on PE days, children come to school dressed in their PE kit.
Please ensure that long hair is tied back and that earrings are removed or covered.
Reading
Reading books and diaries should be brought into school every day. Every day there is some independent reading time in Year 3 so books need to be in school. Your child can change their reading book on any day. We expect at least 3 reads at home per week to be recorded. Please sign your child's reading record when you listen to them read and comment if possible.
School bags
Please ensure the only things the bag contains are lunch/snack, water bottles and reading books/reading records. Although Year 3 do have a locker, this has to contain coats, book bags and lunchboxes. All children will be provided with their own school equipment so there is no need to send in pencil cases etc
Homework
There will be a piece of written English and Maths set each week. It will be set on a Wednesday to be completed by the following Monday. All pupils will also have words to practise spelling for an assessment on Monday.
Online homework tasks:
TT Rockstars (2x5 mins)
Spelling Shed (3 games)
Every week, we will award Praise Points for completing this homework.
Should your child complete the Maths homework quickly, these are a few websites, with great games for further practice:
