Year 3 Summer 1

PE kits must be worn on a Tuesday for Cricket this half term and on a Thursday to make changing for Swimming easier. Please remember to pack your swimming costume, towel and cap!

 We must continue to keep up our hand washing and extra cleaning around class to keep everybody safe. 
 

Learning

Our Vehicle text in English is 'The Iron Man'. Have you ever heard of it? It is a classic story which your parents might have read in school-ask them! It is very important that you keep up your basic skills by reading as much as possible and practise your grammar, punctuation and spellings. In Maths we are working on our 2, 4 and 8 times tables and column subtraction. It is important that you continue to recap your place value of numbers up to 1000, mental arithmetic skills and column addition. 

Take a look at our overview for Summer 1 under 'What we will be learning' to see what you will be exploring this half term. In Geography, we will be finishing our work off on 'What makes the World Angry?' and starting a new topic called 'Why were the Ancient Greek ruled by their Gods?' In Science, we are looking at plants as we move into the summer term. I wander what information you can remember from Year 2? We will explore touch typing, privacy and security in Computing. As well as lots of fun learning in other topic areas such as Art/DT weeks, RE, Music, French and PSHE. Our topic this half term in PSHE is Relationships. Think carefully about all of the relationships we have in our lives. Let's work on our class relationships as a goal for this half term! :)
