Find out more about our learning this half-term
I hope everyone had a wonderful and refreshing Spring break. We have lots of exciting topics to explore this half-term, including why rivers are so important. You can find the curriculum information and knowledge organiser attached at the bottom of the blog.
What will we be learning about?
Below, you'll find our Geography and Science Knowledge Organisers, which outline the key learning for this half-term. Additionally, you’ll see the spelling units we’ll be covering in class.
What is our class text for this half-Term?
Last half-term, we enjoyed reading 'Iron Man' by Ted Hughes. This half-term, we will dive into 'Varjak Paw' by SF Said. Feel free to purchase a copy if you can!
What are the school homework expectations?
- Reading: Please ensure your child is reading at least 3 times a week at home and that their home-school reading books are signed each week. You’re also welcome to attend Reading Lair to complete this together!
- DoodleMaths and DoodleSpell: Children should aim to stay in their Green Zone, which means completing approximately 40 minutes of practice each week. Spelling units can be found below.
- Silver Reading Challenge: Encourage your child to work toward their Silver Reading Challenges, which are located at the back of their home-school book.
- Class Blog: Check the class blog regularly to keep up with everything we’re doing in school!
PE
Year 3 will have PE sessions every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon with Miss Robinson. Please ensure your child is prepared with the correct PE kit for each session.
PE Kit includes:
- Red top
- Black shorts or joggers
- Jewellery must be removed, and longer hair should be tied up.
As some PE lessons will take place outdoors, please provide additional layers for colder days. All kits should be clearly named to avoid any mix-ups.
