Year 3 have had an enjoyable Spring term, working hard on our Maya topic and enjoying our trip to Cadbury World. We are beginning the DT based topic of Monster Pizzas. The children will take part in taste tests and will plan to make their own tasty pizzas linked with our Literacy and Science. They will also create creative packaging based on nets linked in with this theme. If your child has allergies, this will be catered for within this work.
We would also like to thank you for your fantastic support during the term and we are so pleased with our weekly percentages on the reading ladder!
This term we are beginning to learn about the Rainforests. We will all learn where the Rainforests are located in the world and what they are like. Along with learning about the geography of the rainforests we will find out all about the animals, who live in the different layers.
We would also love to introduce a new homework project based on Rainforests. The projects the children will bring in will be shown to the classes and we are in no doubt that they will be great! (letter to follow).Thank you, in advance, for supporting your child with this project!
The final topic we will study this year will be our local area, including learning mapping and researching skills, as well as undertaking some fieldwork to find out more about the place in which we are located.
Both classes have also continued to wow everyone with their new-found violin playing skills, with our violin lessons taking place every Tuesday. We are very much hoping to see you at our music concert in June at the Coton Centre (further details and letter to follow).
Please continue to help your child, complete their learning at home (spelling, reading and times tables practise), it is really appreciated and beneficial to your child. Whilst we fully understand busy family life, everything you do with your child is of benefit to them. We would hope as a minimum, each child is reading with an adult at least 5 times a week, practising their spellings and learning their times tables.
Thank you for your continued support.
