Spring Overview
In Year 3 we continue to develop our skills, knowledge and understanding across a wide range of new and exciting topics in the Spring term.
Our new topic in History involves studying ‘Persia and Greece’ and comparing how Ancient Greek and Persian Armies evolved. In Geography we will be finding out all about Agriculture. In Science we will be studying light and animals including humans. This term in PE we will be looking at athletics and tag rugby.
Maths this term we are going to be focusing on statistics, then moving onto fractions and we will be working a lot with our time tables. Extra practice at home with these will be fantastic. Within English, we will be exploring setting narratives, information leaflets and writing letters. Finally, during RE lessons we will be exploring the Kingdom of God through parables and focusing on Lent, Holy Week and Easter.
Homework in Year 3
New homework is given out each Friday. It is to be returned to school by the following Thursday. This supports the maths and English work your child has been doing in class and should take no more than 30 minutes. If your child is finding it tricky, please stop after this time and let the teacher know.
Reading Books
Reading books will be sent home on a Friday and should be returned by the following Thursday each week. Please send reading books and records into school every day. We encourage regular reading at home to support your child’s progress and love for books. We ask that all children read at home for 15 minutes each night. Reading Records should be signed and dated each time your child reads, whether it’s for schoolwork or pleasure.
Read Write Inc students will bring home a corresponding RWI book.
PE
Our PE sessions will take place on a Monday and Friday.
Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school on these days.
Water Bottles
It’s important that all children bring a water bottle to school to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Thank you for your continued support in helping your child succeed!
