This half term in Year 3, we have lots of exciting learning planned across the curriculum.
In Geography, we will be learning all about rainforests, including where they are located in the world, their climate, and why they are so important. This links closely to our Science topic on rocks and fossils, where children will explore different types of rocks, learn how fossils are formed and understand what they can tell us about the past.
In English, we will be using The Great Kapok Tree as our core text. Children will develop their descriptive writing skills through setting descriptions, short stories and letter writing, with a strong focus on sentence structure and vocabulary. In Maths, we will continue to build fluency in number skills, including addition and subtraction strategies, number bonds and fact families, while also practising multiplication and division facts for 2, 3, 5 and 10.
Our Religious Education focus is Judaism, where children will learn about promises, covenants and important beliefs and festivals. In PE, lessons will take place on Fridays, with children creating a rainforest-themed dance. We are really looking forward to a busy and engaging half term of learning together.
