Our Year 3 Team

English
In English this term, we are really looking forward to using Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as our reading for meaning book.
As well as using a stimulus for writing; we will be looking at newspapers, explanations and a biography about Roald Dahl.
Maths
This term we will be focusing on multiplication and division and understanding the relationship between the two operations. We will also be practicing telling the time and it would be great if you could work on this at home as well. A secure knowledge of times tables is really important so we will be practicing these daily.
During the Spring term, our History topic is the Iron age progressing into The Romans and we are keeping our fingers crossed for a Roman visitor.
In Science, we are going to be exploring forces and this links to our latest DT project about levers and mechanisms.
Through our Geography work, we will continue to learn about north, south east and west as well linking this to local geography.
Across the curriculum, we will be further developing our RE knowledge, with a particular focus on Christianity. We will also be learning basic greetings, numbers and colours in Spanish and also look forward to continuing to enriching our learning through the use of iPads.
Finally, our focus in PSHE is family relationship and we started the New Year, thinking about our new years resolutions.
