Year 3 Current Learning.

Our Enquiry

How has the U.K. changed over the past 100 years?

In English we will be basing our learning around The Secret Garden by France Hodgson Burnett.

The children will be doing two PE sessions each week.

Tag Rugby – Outdoor: Mondays

Indoor PE: Fridays

  • Navy blue cotton shorts or tracksuit trousers;
  • White crew neck T-Shirt with school logo;
  • Trainers / plimsolls with white socks

Children will bring home two books. One will be at their reading level. The other book is simply for their interest and enjoyment. They must be heard to read their reading level book 5 times a week. This must be recorded in their reading record and signed by an adult. Please bring in Reading Records on Mondays.

Practise spellings daily using the workpack provided. Please rip off and bring in the spelling sheet on Fridays. Our spelling test is on Friday afternoons.

Arithmetic: Children are working on mastering number.

Maths: Understanding multiplication and division. Our next Topics are Fractions and Measurement (Length, Perimeter etc. )

Science: Term 3 Electrical Circuits

  • identify common appliances that run on electricity
  • construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers
  • identify whether or not a lamp will light in a simple series circuit, based on whether or not the lamp is part of a complete loop with a battery
  • recognise that a switch opens and closes a circuit and associate this with whether or not a lamp lights in a simple series circuit
  • recognise some common conductors and insulators, and associate metals with being good conductors

Term 4 Sound

  • identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating
  • recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear
  • find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it
  • find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it
  • recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases
