Year Three - Beech and Cedar
Spring 1
This half term Year 3 have been reading and studying The Finger Eater by Dick King-Smith. We have had some interesting discussions and produced lots of work in English based on this book, including coming up with their own way of tricking Ulf.
In Maths we have focussed on geometry and shape including working out perimeter and looking at parallel and perpendicular lines. We have also started to look at the 3-, 4-, and 8-times table and this will be continuing after the half term holiday.
We have also been investigating different rocks and fossils in Science and the children have had some brilliant fun in creating their own different types of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks out of starburst, which they have all loved immensely.
Autumn 2
Autumn 1st Half
This half term year 3 have really settled into Key Stage two. The year three team have been so proud of the children and their flexibility with all the changes that have happened to them so far this year. We are currently reading the Boy who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd. We have been developing our prediction skills and how things may not be as they seem.
In English we have read Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch and recreated our own story based on this from the dragon’s perspective that they all really enjoyed.
In Art we have been looking at different artists and creating self-portraits in the different styles, looking at the different colours and how to blend them to create a variety of hues within our work.
In Maths we are currently looking at Addition and different written methods of addition which the children are all building on their resilience in trying to master.
