Class Teachers: Miss Fletcher

Hi!

I will be your teacher in Year 3! I cannot wait to meet all of you when we start back in September. I know that for many of you it will be your first time back in school since the lockdown. We will have a fantastic time in Year 3, I have added some information below about our first Autumn Term back at school so you can get an idea of what we will be up to. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Davies

We are lucky enough to have Mrs Davies as our teaching assistant next year! She knows you all so well from working with you in Year 2 so she will be a familiar face around the classroom. She is very excited about working in Year 3 with us!

Autumn Term 2020

Our first topic in the autumn term is called ‘Stone Age to Iron Age!’ We will begin the year looking at the book UG: Boy Genius of the Stone Age. We will follow UG’s journey and find out about his wonderful inventions. In history, we will learn the key facts about the changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. We will be developing our sculpting skills by creating Iron Age roundhouses out of clay!

After a couple of weeks, we will move onto our science unit, Springs and Magnets. We will explore how push and pull forces work and develop different investigations. Alongside this, we will begin a new book, The Iron Man. This is one of my favourite stories and we will explore the Iron Man’s many adventures. In addition to this, we will read non-fiction texts to support our learning.

In maths, we will begin the year looking at number and place value: reading, writing and ordering two- and three-digit numbers. We will then progress onto learning about counting, estimating, mental addition and subtraction.
