Year 3

Welcome back Year 3, I hope you all had a great half term break! 
We have an exciting half term of learning planned for Year 3:
In maths we will be building on our addition and subtraction knowledge and will then start to look at multiplication and division. 
In English we are finishing looking at instructions and will be writing fictional portal stories and information texts about mythical creatures. Our class novel this half term will be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis.
In science we will be learning all about rocks, fossils, and soils.
Our history topic for this half term is the Roman Empire and what the Romans have brought to Britain. 
In French we will continue to look at greetings, numbers and asking each others name and ages.
In RE we are looking at why the Bible is important for Christians today, including looking at some stories from the Bible. 
In computing we are looking at online safety, including privacy and security and we will also be looking at spreadsheets this half term too. 
In D.T. this half term Y3 will be looking at designing and making their own pizzas. 
In P.E. Y3 are doing rugby on a Wednesday and hockey on a Friday.
In music Y3 are listening to and appraising Holst ‘The Planets Suite’ as well as different pieces of western classical music. Y3 will also be singing traditional Christmas songs. 
PSHE is going to be delivered by the (MHST) Mental Health Support Team and Y3 will be having weekly workshops on emotional resilience. 

This half term we are also looking forward to Children In Need day which is on Friday 17th November. During assemblies this half term we have lots of different visitors coming in to talk about different faiths. Towards the end of half term we are also hoping to have a Christmas singing performance!

Kind Regards,
