Welcome to 3B!

In our class you will find Mrs Barker and Mr Atkinson.  Your child will need their PE kit on a Monday and a Thursday.  Reading every night is so very important – it can really help your child to progress.  We look forward to working with you throughout the year and we hope that your child thoroughly enjoys their time in Year 3.

Autumn Term 2018

This term, we are learning about the Romans.  So far, we have learnt about Mount Vesuvius and we even created and erupted our own volcanoes!

In Art and Design, we will be designing and creating our own Roman Shields and in Geography we will be locating Rome on maps as well as understanding what life was like during that era.

We will also write reports about Gladiators and we may even learn about Roman Numerals in Maths!  What fabulous learning we will do this half term!

Times Tables

We would love the children to recall their times table facts as fast as they can.  To help, we have bought an APP called Times Table Rockstars.  It is great.  Your child has their own log in and the online game can be found by following this link:

Spring Term 1 2019

This half term our main learning theme about Light and Dark.  In Science, we will be looking at light sources, reflectors and investigating shadows.  In Art we will be looking at creating shadow using tinfoil sculptures and we will be experimenting with sketching techniques when drawing shadows from 2D drawings.  In English, we will be studying the book: ‘The Thing in the Basement’ which is a mystery text with darkness as a theme. So much to do!

Spring Term 2 2019

For the first two weeks of Spring Term 2, we will be learning about Hansel and Gretel in English and topic lessons.  We will write diary entries in role as forest workers and then we will take part in a STEM investigation to create a cage to capture the witch.  We will then write instructions for others to make their own cages.

Our learning then moves onto Animals, including Humans.  We will look at keeping ourselves and our pets healthy and then we will study our skeletons in depth. During this time, we will enjoy a visit from Animal Care.  We will use all of this leanring and experience to write information leaflets.
