A Very Warm Welcome to Year 3

 

 Have a wonderful October Half-Term Break! We look forward to seeing you all again, ready for more learning on Monday 4th November 2024.

 

 

 

Welcome back to Autumn 2  

 

 Our topic question is: 'Would you survive the Stone Age'?

 

 

 

 

This half term, we will be learning about the Stone Age and how life in prehistoric times shaped the way that we live today. We will explore the changes within the prehistoric periods, how hunter-gatherers survived and how new discoveries led to the Iron Age. We will have many hands-on experiences where the children will get to experience life during this time and understang how evidence from the past can be found. 

 

We will read about the Stone Age boy and the adventures in the Stolen Spear.

Homework in Year 3

Each week, we ask that all children read with somebody at home at least three times a week. This could be any adult or an older sibling or friend. Please sign their diary and add a comment. Every little bit of reading really does help children on the learning journey. We also ask that the children practise their weekly spellings which can be found below. We conduct a spelling quiz each week as part of a dictation lesson, and these words form part of our English teaching for the week. A vital aspect of Maths is that the children have a secure recall of times tables so we ask that they spend some time each week on TT Rockstars practising these. Also, please see below our termly homework grid.
