This year in Year 3 we will be studying the themes of:

China/Japan - Treasure - in the Autumn Term
Ice Kingdoms – The Active Planet - in the Spring Term
UK – Airports and They made a difference - in the Summer Term.

Numeracy - place value, space and shape, measures, developing their understanding of the four written methods and applying them to word problems.

Literacy - developing their understanding of sentence structures and ways to improve their writing. Children will be writing stories in the style of a well-known author (Roald Dahl) as well as writing and following instructions, looking at traditional tales about Yeh Shen.

Science - Children will be planning and carrying out their own investigations and studying topics: Magnets and springs, Materials, Teeth and eating, Helping Plants Grow well, Light and shadows and rock and soils.

Homework will be set as and when required by their teachers. Children should make sure though that they read every night and know their times tables. Children have homework diaries and parents can sign these.

Generally children have literacy and numeracy homework once a week.
