Year 3 2020 - 2021

Into the Spring Term We Go!

I hope you have all been able to enjoy the Christmas break and a ready to return to an exciting Spring Term.

The topic this term is my favourite one - The Rainforest! We will be exploring where they are, what they look like, what we can find in them and what we, as Year 3, can do to protect them. This topic is full of science and experiments, we learn all about the weird and wonderful creatures that live within the climate as well as all the amazing plants that grow. The children's geography skills will be further enriched as we begin to compare our knowledge or rivers and climates from our Egyptian topic to our Rainforest one, something I know the class will be amazing at.

The children will continue building on their conceptual understanding of Maths through our White Rose scheme of work, moving onto multiplication and division at the start of the term. We will also start to speed up our knowledge of multiplication and the times tables through daily games. 

Literacy will have a big focus on writing where children can put into play all the amazing ideas that they have where handwriting will also be a focus and some children may move onto using pens this term!. Our writing will merge with topic as the children write reports and stories based on rainforest animals such as sloths, orangutans and slimy snakes. Reading as always will continue in Year 3 with a strong emphasis on comprehension.

I'm excited to get started :)
