Reading

Children in Year 3 are expected to read their reading book at least 4 times a week to an adult and their reading log needs to be signed. If your reading log is not signed by an adult we will presume you have not read. Reading is also counted as homework, so if children fail to read at home they will need to spend break time reading. There will be rewards for children that are reading consistently.

Please bring reading logs and reading books in regularly so that they can be updated. Thank you

 

 
English
This term our book will be Pip and Egg written by Alex Latimer. We will use this text to help use write about settings and produce an information text about rivers. 
  

 

Maths
In maths this half term, we will be continuing our maths learning journey with perimeter, fractions, mass and capacity. We will still be practising and rehearsing our multiplication facts and doing our best to remember and recall as many of them as possible. We will also revisit our previous Year 2 learning when measuring mass, capacity and perimeter including: Measure, compare, add and subtract: mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml) Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes.
 

TT Rockstars

In Year 3 we will be using TT Rockstars to help them recall and practise multiplication facts. Children should also be logging on TT Rockstar's as much as they can and practice their times tables. Their login details will be in the front of their reading log so they can practice at home. Some weeks children will be asked to complete TT Rockstar's as their homework so if your child can't log on please let us know.

 

Science
Our Science topic this half term is Plants. 

Pupils review previous learning in Year 2 and build upon this knowledge to:

•identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants.

explore the requirements of plants for life and growth.

investigate the way in which water is transported within plants.
 
explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal. 

Geography 

Year 3 will be learning about Water, weather and climate. 

Pupils will describe and understand key aspects of physical geography, including climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers and the water cycle.
