Reading

Children in Year 3 are expected to read their reading book at least  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 halt term we will be using two books to inspire our English lessons. The first book: The Forgettery written by the author Rachel Ip. We will use this text to help us write a narrative. 
  

Our second book: The Search of Our Cosmic Friends written by Chloe Savage. We will use this text to help us write poetry and setting descriptions. 

 

Maths
In maths this half term, we will be continuing our maths learning journey with  Measure, compare, add and subtract:  volume/capacity (l/ml). We will return to Fractions and build upon our previous learning in order to add and subtract fractions. We will also be learning about money and how to add, subtract and find change. The pupils will also engage with telling the time to the nearest minute and learning about months and days.  

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.

• recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.

• find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change.
