Hello and Happy New Year!

We can’t wait to do even more learning and exciting things with you in 2025!

In our English lessons this half term we will be learning all about the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ and thinking about what life must have been like back in the Stone Age. This fits in fantastically as we will be being Historians and doing our own research to find out just what life was like in the Stone Age for our History topic. For our guided reading sessions our focus text will be the brilliant ‘Iron Man’ written by Ted Hughes.

Our focus in Maths to start with will be multiplication and division which are both really important skills! It’s our job, in Y3 to learn as many as we can to get you ready for Y4 when you have to complete a multiplication check test for all facts up to 12x12 (remember Times Table Rock Stars is a great way to help with all your multiplication facts!)

In RE we will be thinking about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and helping all our First Holy Communion children to prepare for First Forgiveness in February. For DT this term we will be completing the food technology topic of Sandwiches and exploring food groups and various fillings. We will be learning about lots of different fruit and vegetables, where they come from and when they grow. We will be growing our computing brains by continuing working on Code Studio for programming and we will be creating Branching Databases. As scientists we will be experimenting with Rocks and learning all about different types and how they are fomed. In PE we will be creating our own dance moves and putting them together to create a routine to showcase our skills.  We know you have loved learning a brand new language so far this year during your Spanish lessons which will continue this term too!

Don’t forget to keep your brains busy at home by accessing all the fantastic online resources we’ve got. Every member of Y3 has a login for IDLS which has both English and Maths activities that are fantastic at supporting and helping your learning- please make sure you use these at home as well as at school.

There are buttons at the bottom of this page that you can click to take you straight to TTRS, EdShed, Google Classroom and more.

We can’t wait to continue your Y3 journey

with you!

Love Mrs Leeson, Mrs Thomas & Mrs Ford
