Welcome to Year 3
at St Anne’s Primary School
Writing
This half term we will be using the book ‘Winter’s Child’ by Angela McAllister to inspire our writing. This story looks at friendship, the natural cycle of seasons and the difference between wants and needs.
Children will write a fantasy story based on a fable including the following features:
Use conjunctions and adverbs to express time, place and cause.
Use a or an according to whether the next word begins with a vowel or consonant.
In narratives, create characters, settings and plot.
Use inverted commas to punctuate direct speech.
Welcome to Year 3!

Maths
For our Maths lessons, we will be looking at multiplication and division. Children will recap on their 2s, 5s and 10s times tables before learning about 3s, 4s, and 8s times tables including division. Applying this knowledge children will learn to multiply 2 digit numbers by a 1 digit number.
RE
We will be starting our new unit ‘Prophecy and Promise’. We will be learning about the importance of Mass, Advent and the birth of Jesus.
In geography, we will be learning about settlements: hamlets, villages, towns and cities.
In science, we will be looking at forces and magnets.
In art, we will be investigating patterns.
In PE, children will be learning gymnastics.
Things to remember
Our PE days will be on a Friday. Children need to come into school wearing their correct PE uniform.
Please make sure your child brings their book bag in each day so their book can be changed. We will be reading with your child throughout the week.
Children need to bring a labelled water bottle in each day.
