Autumn 1st
Our history based theme this term is 'The Mayflower' It is a local history theme about the Pilgrims who went to America and the first Thanksgiving.
In Maths, we will focus on place value with 3 digit numbers. We will practise our x2, x5, x10 times tables and begin to learn x3, x6, x4, x8 tables over the term. You may wish to use the website link below for the activity we use in class (Useful website: Tables Check).
In RE, our new unit is called 'Creation and Covenant'.
Our Guided Reading text will have a non fiction focus around the Pilgrims and then we will begin our class book called 'The Legend of Podkin One-Ear'.
Our Writing is linked to the picture book 'Squanto's Journey'.
In Music, the children will learn how to sing, play, improvise and compose using glockenspiels in
our 'Let Your Spirit Fly' unit.
In Computing, the children will learn about e-safety.
In PSHE, the children will explore the unit of Relationships.
In art, the children will be learning about painting and be inspired by the painter Aliza Nisenbaum. Please provide your child with an apron or old shirt/ t-shirt to keep in their school bag if you wish.
Please remember to bring a water bottle and a healthy snack (Year 3 no longer receive free fruit snacks from school, so please ensure your child has a snack with them everyday). A healthy snack is a piece (or selection) of fruit/ veg/salad or plain popcorn or plain rice cake.
Please check your name is written on your jackets, jumpers, school and PE uniform, water bottle and snack pot.
Please provide your child with a colouring book or puzzle book for your child to keep in their trays for indoor breaks.
Please remember to read and practice reading, spelling and tables each day. Record your reading in your new 'Red Reading Records'. You must bring your reading record and reading books to school each day.
Our PE days are WEDNESDAYS and THURSDAYS. Children are to come to school in PE kits on these days.
