Term Four

Our value this term: Forgiveness

This term our enquiry will be "How did people start to settle?"

English

In English this term, we will be reading our anchor text ‘Anita and the Dragons' by Hannah Carmona. We will continue to develop our reading skills by retrieving information, inferring the text and exploring new and familiar vocabulary from our anchor text. In writing, we will be working towards developing short burst writes based on our class text and developing skills to improve these before trying to write 2 final pieces: a sequel to the story and a leaflet discussing the Dominican Republic.

Maths

 In Maths, in term three, children will develop their understanding of column addition as well as looking at the links between the 2', 4's and 8 timetables. Throughout the term, children will be practising their timetables, focusing on 8's and previously taught tables to ensure confidence and fluency. 

Science

As scientists this term, we will be looking at skeletons. We will build up our learning to answer our question: ‘How did people start to settle?’. This involves learning about nutrition and diets as well as the importance of bones.

Art 

As artists this term, we will be exploring prehistoric art, thinking about how art looked back in the Stone Age and creating our own prehistoric art using collage techniques. 

PSHE

 In term three, our topic is 'Healthy Me'. This focusses on looking at what it means to be healthy and what we can do to look after our bodies and make sure we are staying as healthy as we can. We will also be looking into our 'No outsiders' area in class worship and how this links to our PSHE topic of differences.

PE 

This term in PE, year 3 will be looking to develop their sending and receiving in pairs and individually while also practising their skills in tennis. This will be alongside their learning of swimming.
