English
In English this term, we will be exploring a range of genres including fairy tale narratives, a newspaper report and poetry!
As well as using a stimulus for writing; we will be reading and expanding on Charlie and the Chocolate factory!
We will be using EdShed to support us with our spellings this year. Please use this at home to practise using the games!
Maths
This term we will be focusing on number, extending our knowledge of place value and the four operations using numbers up to 1000. Measuring with cm and m as well as scaling. We will have fun learning fractions too.
Use TT Rock Stars to help with your times tables and aim to turn your heat map green for a certificate.
Other subjects
During the Spring term we will be learning about the Romans in History. Our Science topic is Forces and Magnetism. Through our Geography work, we will focus on the United Kingdom.
In DT we will be investigating mechanisms like leavers and linkages. We will develop our collage skills in Art ending with a fabric quilt.
Across the curriculum, we will be further developing our RE knowledge, with a particular focus on Christianity. We will also be learning basic conversations in Spanish and improve our coding skills using ipads as well as learning more ways to be safe on line.
Finally, our focus in PSHE is families and their differences.
PE
This term we will be looking at swimming, gymnastics and football.
3T and 3J will swim for 2 weeks every afternoon. A letter will come home with dates.
The PE days for each class are:
3T - Monday (Indoor) & Wednesday (Outdoor)
3P – Monday (Outdoor) & Tuesday (Indoor)
3J – Monday (Outdoor) & Thursday (Indoor)
As the weather is much colder in this term, please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school on the days in which they have PE, including appropriate footwear and warmer clothes for outdoor PE.
Homework
Reading at home is an extremely important part of their day. Your child is rewarded with Rainbow Reader certificate and always eager to improve. Spelling homework will be set on a Friday and tested the following Friday. For homework for the rest of the term, children will have a selection to choose from. This can be updated to SeeSaw or handed to the class teacher.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact one of us.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Mrs Turner, Miss Pomeroy and Mrs Jenkins
