Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back! We hope you and your children had a wonderful and restful break together after an action-packed Term 2 learning about ‘Mighty Civilisations’.
We are now embarking on Term 3, which looks set to be equally as busy and fun filled as the last term.
In Discovery this term, the children will be addressing the question, “How active is our planet?” The children will locate famous volcanoes, mountains and waterfalls of the world and learn about how these are formed. We will investigate rocks and soils and learn how the planet is always changing and how volcanoes and earthquakes can impact people. In line with this, in English, we will be looking at explanation texts, emotional narrative stories and persuasive holiday brochures for beautiful landforms of the world.
The Learning for Life curriculum, which focuses on promoting the health and wellbeing of our pupils, has been taught throughout the academic year. During Term 3, we will be teaching the Relationships and Sexual Education (RSE) element. Specific information about this will be shared in a separate Hub bulletin.
Please continue to discuss your child’s learning with them. Much of their work is recorded within their Google Drive, Classroom and on Seesaw.
With regard to homework, we will be continuing with our regular system and schedule of:
- All homework is set on Google Classroom on a Friday, to be completed for the following Friday. This consists of Maths, Discovery or English, and Spelling.
- Reading each night. Children are to record the title of their book and the pages that they read in their diaries on a daily basis. Please can you, as parents, sign this too.
Please find the Year 3 Term 3 Key Dates linked HERE.
For more information regarding Year 3 for the academic year 2024–25, please refer to the linked Welcome to Year 3 booklet, and the Key Stage 2 (Years 3 – 6) Curriculum Handbook, which can also be found on the Hub.
We look forward to welcoming you back to school very soon.
Best wishes,
The Year 3 Team
