This half term in Year 3, we have continued to develop our love of reading. We enjoyed creating our very own Monster’s Guides as well as writing personal narratives inspired by ‘Jabari Jumps’, ‘Ralph Tells a Story’ and ‘The Proudest Blue.’

During our Maths lessons, we have been continuing to develop our adding skills both mentally and with column addition. We have then moved onto learning all about the 2, 4 and 8 times tables.

As Historians, we have been learning all about the Romans. We have learnt about the story of Boudicca and enjoyed learning about how Romans lived their lives. In Science we have been learning about ‘Forces and Magnets’ learning about the North and South Pole of a magnet and exploring how they attract and repel objects and materials. We have also explored how pushes and pulls can affect the start and stop movement. We have learnt about friction, and how different surfaces affect the speed that an object moves.

As Musicians, we have been continuing to learn how to play the Cornet with Mr Tees and loved showcasing everything we have learnt this term in our concert to parents. We have developed our musicality, building on our listening and appraising skills and worked together to compose our very own songs.

In RE, we have been learning about the story of Easter as well as the traditions linked to Easter for Christians. In French, we have been learning about objects in a French classroom as well as beginning our journey into learning about masculine and feminine words. Well done for all of your hard work this term Year 3!

Next term, our topic changes to ‘Our World!’ where we will learn all about the world we live in, develop our Geography knowledge through map work and orienteering. We will also learn about different rocks and soils in Science.
