Class Teacher: Mr Purchase

Term six

Our value this term: friendship

This term our enquiry will be "How do civilisations grow?"

English

In English this term, we will be reading our anchor text ‘Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx'. We will continue to develop our reading skills by retrieving information, inferring the text and exploring new and familiar vocabulary from our anchor text. In writing, we will be working towards developing short burst writes based on our class text and developing skills to improve these before trying to write 2 final pieces: two problems Marcy has to face and a survival guide for the Sphinx.

Maths

 In Maths, in term six, children will develop their understanding of fractions further and begin looking at time and perpendicular and parallel lines. Throughout the term, children will be practising their timetables, focusing on previously taught tables to ensure confidence and fluency. 

Science

As scientists this term, we will be looking at plants. We will be looking at the structure of a plant and the different parts while also looking at their functions and how they live and grow.

Art 

As artists this term, we will be exploring sketching and focusing on two artists: Keeble Martin and Georgia O’Keeffe.

PSHE

 In term six, our topic is 'Changing me'. This focusses on looking at how others and ourselves change as we grow older and how there are some parts of us that we can control and other parts that we can't control. We will also be looking into our 'No outsiders' area in class worship and how this links to our PSHE topic of differences.

PE 

This term in PE, year 3 will be looking to develop their static balance as well as ball chasing alongside athletics with our P.E coaches. This will be as well as their learning of swimming.
