Having trouble learning your times-tables?
We all like learning differently. Try TT Rockstars, Hit The Button and practising often at home.
Here for you to check out is Percy Parker and he has a song for every times-table. Good luck!
English
This term, we're embarking on a literary journey with Peter Brown’s “The Wild Robot.” Our focus will be on exploring a variety of Year 3 text types while delving further into the year 3 realms of spelling, punctuation, and grammar we need to master. The novel's rich narrative will provide a perfect backdrop for enhancing our literacy skills, and provide natural links with our river study topic.
Maths
We’re delving into key concepts including multiplication and division, understanding length and perimeter, fractions, as well as mass and capacity.
These topics will be taught through a combination of practical activities and problem-solving tasks, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of these fundamental areas of mathematics.
They’ll be supplemented with weekly number of the day starters, basic maths skills sessions and end of week multiplication checks.
Science
Our focus this term is twofold: exploring the intriguing world of forces and magnets, and delving into the life cycle of plants. Hands-on experiments and investigations will make these topics both fun and informative. If our plants topic succeeds, we may even have some young seedlings we can transfer to the school garden – but we’ll see how it goes first!
Theme
We'll embark on a fascinating study of rivers, with a special focus on those in the UK and our local area in Nantwich. This will include understanding river formation, their importance in ecosystems, and their role in shaping landscapes. We’ll have a slight history element too, seeing how the river has impacted Nantwich over time, and the wider community. We are, at the time of writing, in conversation with Nantwich museum about a river study day too!
