Welcome to Year 3
at St Anne’s Primary School
Writing
This half term we will be using the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura to inspire our writing. This story is about a modern boy falling through time to the Stone Age.
Children will write a story from the point of view of the boy including the following features:
From nouns with a range of prefixes.
Use present and past tenses correctly and consistently including progressive and present perfect forms
Use inverted commas to punctuate direct speech
Build a varied and rich vocabulary

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 ‘Galilee to Jerusalem’. We will be learning about the importance of the magi and Jesus’ promise of the ‘Kingdom of God’.
In history, we will be learning about the Stone Age.
In science, we will be looking at rocks.
In DT, we will be making sandwiches.
In PE, children will be learning dance.
Things to remember
Our PE days will be on a Thursday. 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.
