Year 3
We welcome the children to start their junior learning experience! Our aim is for all children to settle quickly, make new friends and enjoy all the new experiences that we have to offer.
Welcome to Year 3's Homepage.
Over the next half term, Year 3 will be doing a 6-week unit on ‘Travel and Tourism’. This follows on from our recent unit ‘Island Life’. We will be learning about travel and what attracts tourists to different locations. We will also look at the impact of tourism on the environment. Our next topic will be ‘Scavengers and Settlers’
English
In English this term, we are reading Greta and the Giants by Zoe Tucker. We will use this to develop our vocabulary, retrieval skills, understanding of themes and summarising. We will be writing a variety of genres including first person narrative descriptions, formal letters & performance poetry.
Maths
In Maths this term, we will be continuing to develop our understanding of fractions. We will also be learning about money, time, shape and statistics.
Art and DT
In Art and DT, we will investigate how can we select materials and techniques to best communicate our ideas. The children will be designing vintage tourism posters and make sculptures to communicate the idea of flight and travel. We will also be exploring the idea of futuristic travel machines and design machines using levers and linkages.
