Owls Class

Miss Bagnall, Mrs Ward and Miss Shears

Happy new year, and welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday with many special memories made. We are looking forward to another great term in Owls class, working very hard and challenging ourselves even more!

In English this term we will be reading ‘Stone Girl, Bone Girl’. We will be writing for a range of purposes and audiences, exploring different skills with our writing. We will also have the opportunity to create some amazing artwork based on the book! We will be learning about different grammar skills, how to use a varied and rich vocabulary and much more!

In Mathematics, we will be learning about fractions, learning about tenths, unit fractions and representing these with diagrams. We will also learn how to add and subtract fractions. We will learn about shapes involving angles and turn as well add adding and subtracting money. We will learn about units of measure and comparing different units such as Kilograms, litres, etc. Finally, we will consolidate learning of multiplication and division.

Our topic in science will be rocks! We will explore how rocks can be grouped together by their appearance and properties, learn how fossils are formed and be able to explain how soils are made. The children will get to use a range of scientific skills and techniques during this topic as well as an exciting workshop visit from Lyme Regis Museum!

Year 3 will be taught History for the first half term, learning about the changes in Britain that took place from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

In DT we will explore how leavers and linkages work and be able to create our own greeting cards!

RE will be focusing on Jewish faith, and what Jewish people believe about God.

Year 3 will be taught P.E on a Tuesday and Friday.

Please support your child at home by listening to them read 5 times a week and recording this in their reading record. Homework will be set on a Friday and will need to be handed in by the following Friday.

We can’t wait for another amazing term!
