Year 3 (3TS & 3AY)
Welcome Back
We hope you all had a good half term and are now all refreshed and ready for this busy time in the lead up to the end of the year.
Spring Challenge
We are setting the challenge of making a model Iron Man using materials found at home or even a kit if you have one. Feel free to make this a family project and be as creative as you want.
P.E.
We will continue to do PE sessions with Commando Joe and are hoping to have a go at one of his assault courses soon.
Maths
In Maths we will be thinking more about using what we already know to solve word problems and looking closely at numbers in order to identify patterns that will help us understand more about number. We will apply these skills using money, shape and measures.
Swimming
Miss Smiths Class will be going swimming on Wednesday afternoons this half term.
The Iron Giant
Our focus book this half term is The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. This is a great book that was written before the marvel comic character was created and is just as exciting. We will be writing newspaper reports, letters, persuasive arguments and even our own chapter to continue the story.
We will be thinking carefully about how we treat other people and being more understanding of differences.
We are going to be making our own models of the iron man and discussing which materials make the best model. We might even get a chance to make some metal jewellery.
Science
Our Science focus is finding out more about Friction and Magnets. We have some great investigations planned in order to learn more.
Commando Joe
We will continue to do PE sessions with Commando Joe and are hoping to have a go at one of his assault courses soon.
