How can learning about the Earth help us to become better stewards of God’s creation?
In English, we will be using the text ‘Stig of the Dump’ and will be writing a first person narrative, an explanation text and a non-fiction text. We will be refining our ability to be Year 3 writers which will include ongoing work in spelling, paragraphing, using expanded noun phrases and conjunctions.
In Maths, we will start our Multiplication and Division topic. We will revisit our multiples of 2,5 and 10 and then go on to focus on the 3,4 and 8 times tables.
In the Year 3 RED RE topic “Prophecy and Promise”. We will talk about the importance of Mass for Catholics and go on to learn about the importance of Mary and Joseph saying yes to God.
Our topic this term is called, ‘Rock and Roll’. The subjects we will be learning as part of this topic are Science, History and Art.
In Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) and Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) our topic is Created and Loved by God. We will learn to celebrate similarities and differences, and to appreciate and look after our bodies as gifts from God.
In Year 3, children begin their French learning. In this half term, children will learn the names of different animals in French.
