Curriculum Overview
Homework
Homework is given out every Wednesday and is due in the following Tuesday.
Homework consists of Reading, Spellings, Maths and Topic homework.
Reading must be completed every day, children can read with adults, older siblings who are fluent readers, or by themselves if they are free readers (adult must sign homework diary).
We encourage regular practise of timetables specifically 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 for Year 3.
Topic Homework
What we've been up to...
Sept 2025- Maths
We've already got started with some number exploration in maths trying to make dinosaurs worth less than 100 points! We were really impressed to see lots of different problem solving and adding methods being used.
October 2025- History
Our trip to Celtic Harmony was fantastic. We learnt all about what life in prehistoric times would have been like. We got to sit around a fire in a round house, grind our own flour to make break, weave wool to make clothes, dye material and even do some trading.
March 2026- Science
To celebrate British Science Week with the theme 'Curiosity: What is your question?' Year 3 asked questions which they then investigated. They worked really hard to present their findings to show at the science fair.
May 2026-Science
In science, we have been learning about the role flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants. We have learnt that different flowers produce different types of seeds which are then dispersed in different ways. We created our own seeds and decided how they would travel: wind, water, eaten by animals, exploding or catching a lift.
June 2026-Sports and Arts Week
To encourage imagination each day during Sports and Arts Week Year 3 were set mini challenges to create space themed artwork. Check them out.
