Welcome to Year 3

We hope that you have had a wonderful holiday. In year 3, children are taught by Ms Begum and Mr. Evans. Teaching and learning is supported by Miss Shufflebotham and Miss Johnson.

During the second half of the Autumn term, learning will revolve around the text ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ by Roald Dahl. Children will watch the film, and read the text. Children will also carry out drama-based activities, write a character description and a narrative exploring a dilemma, faced by the character.

This half term, in Science, children will look at animals, such as carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, food and nutrients, and the functions of a human skeleton.

In Mathematics, children will be looking at multiplication and division concepts. They will practise their times table and develop fluency by reciting them, forwards and backwards. They will calculate and write mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the ×, ÷ and = signs. They will also multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number using mental and informal methods, progressing to formal written methods, and solve problems in context using materials, arrays, repeated addition, and multiplication and division facts. 

PE

Our PE day is every Wednesday.  Please make sure that children come to school in their PE kit, every Wednesday. All earrings need to be removed before school so that children can take part in PE lessons. In PE, children will be taking part in cricket lessons and look at ways of improving their fitness levels.

Thank you for your continued support.
