Learning and Achieving Together

Welcome to Year 3 and Team Azure 2024/25

Your teacher is Ms Dyer

Your teaching assistants are Ms Allwork and Mrs Elson 

Year 3 have had a brilliant half term! We have been fortunate to have weekly cornet lessons and have been learning how to play notes and combine them to play some familiar songs like Hot Cross Buns.

 

In English, we began the term by reading the Paper Bag Princess and went on to write our own version of the story from a different character’s perspective. We were then inspired by the story ‘Stella and the Seagulls’ to write our very own speeches to persuade others to make our school better for the environment.

 

In Maths, we have learnt; how to calculate perimeter of rectilinear shapes, used arrays to calculate multiplication sums, used sharing and grouping to calculate division equations as well as understanding, interpreting and creating pictograms.

 

As Historians, we have been delving into the world of The Ruthless Romans. We have learnt about their fearless leaders such as Julius Caesar as well as their amazing army. Also we started to understand how the Romans culture still influences us today.

 

In Science, we have been learning about ‘Animals and Humans’ organising animals using Venn diagrams as well as learning about the human body including our muscles and skeletons. We have looked at the different food groups and identified how they are organised to ensure we can eat a healthy and balanced diet.

 

In Computing, we have been learning how to input data into spreadsheets and have explored the different ways that we can use spreadsheets to represent information.

 

Next half term, we will be continuing our topic Ruthless Romans and are excited to visit St Albans Verulamium Park and Museum to further embed our learning.

 

In Maths, we will be learning all about fractions and in English we will be exploring some brilliant texts to inspire our understanding of the world.

 

In Computing, we are going to be building on our touch typing skills.

 

In PSHE, we will be learning all about Healthy Me and in Science we will be developing our understanding of forces.
