Welcome to Year 3.

 Our staff team consists of Mrs Heeley teaching on Monday and Tuesday and Mrs Henderson on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Our teaching assistants are Mrs Brotherton, Mrs Warham and Mrs McKerchar

Our Autumn Term topic

is

The Anglo Saxons

This is a historical topic. We will look at how and why the Anglo Saxons settled, The Battle of Hastings and the Sutton Hoo dig find.

In Literacy lessons, we will be looking at narrative texts, poetry and plays.   Mostly we will concentrate on improving our narrative writing, by revising and editing our own work and helping others to do so.  We will be reading, writing, and performing, stories as plays. Our poetry reading and writing, will have an environmental focus.  Throughout these lessons, we will be including work on grammar, punctuation, handwriting and spelling. 

We are continuing to count in fours, sixes and eights in maths. We will be doing more practise using the Times Table Rock Stars site.  We are continuing with fractions, adding and taking way.  We will tell the time to the nearest five minutes.  We will explore duration and work out lengths of time.

Science lessons will involve learning about the human body.  We will find out about our skeletons and those of other creatures.  In DT we will be making Anglo-Saxon soup, designing and making shields and helmets and stitching money pouches.

In RE we will be considering aspects of spirituality and, how ancient stories influence modern celebrations?  

In French we will be learning how to present ourselves and will be learning the names for different vegetables and how to say whether we like or dislike them.

In PSHE, we will be looking at healthy relationships and how to foster them.
