2oth October pm
You are invited to come and see
what the children have been
learning.
More details to follow.
Mathematics
English
The children will begin the year looking at
place value and what each digit in a number
is worth. Building on from what the children
learnt in Year 2, they will be consolidating
their ability in addition and subtraction using
larger numbers. A greater focus will be placed
on using and applying too, so these skills will
be incorporated into word problems and
investigations.
Over this topic the children will enjoy literacy
that focuses on our theme. Each class will be
reading Stig of the Dump, which will
influence them in their story telling skills and
writing ability. Now the children are in Year 3,
they will also be looking to improve the
length and complexity of their sentences by
adding more descriptive words and phrases;
making their writing much more exciting and
engaging.
R.E.
P.E. and Games
Children will be looking at the religion of
Islam. Whilst studying this the children will be
learning about prayer mats, the Qur'an and
the 5 Pillars. This is a good opportunity for
the children to share experience and learn
about different cultures, not just across the
world but also with our own classroom.
Children will be building on fundamental
skills in order to improve their ability, balance
and coordination. This will done through a
series of activities that encourage the
children to experiment with movement and
fluidity. Also, children will become more
familiar with working to support or in
competition with other members of the class
in order to achieve an overall objective.
Music
French
Children will be listening to a range of
different music. Then they will work to
respond to the melodies they have heard and
comment on the pitch and tempo of the
music. Each class will become more aware of
the different parts of the music and how they
all fit together to form a final piece. Different
songs will be practised so that the children
can listen to feedback and improve their own
performance.
The children will begin the year with an
introduction to greetings and simple
exchanges about their name and how they
are feeling. They will also learn their first
French numbers, colours and classroom
instructions and have the opportunity to join
in with songs, games, finger rhymes and a
French story.
