Year 3 - Elm Class

English We will be exploring our new class text ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’. It is an exciting picture book that tells the story of Arthur – an unlikely hero - and his quest to save his town from a mythical creature. The children will be writing non chronological reports based on their own mythical God and creating an advert for a new hero.

Maths We will be consolidating our understanding of short multiplication and division. We will then move on to looking at units of measurement for length, mass, volume and money. Any practical experiences the children can have at home linked to this would be highly beneficial. The children will be applying their understanding of all four operations to solve measurement word problems.

R.E. This half term, children will be looking at ‘Why do Hindus believe in God?’

Geography This term our geography focus will be looking at volcanoes and earthquakes. By the end of our topic, children will be able to understand how volcanoes are formed and what causes an earthquake. We will be looking in particular at the structures of a volcano and how earthquakes are measured. 

P.E. PE with the sports coach will be on a Tuesday and have a dance focus for this half term. 

Science Our learning over the next few weeks will explore rocks,  soils and fossils. We will be looking at different types of soils and their characteristics and learning about fossil formation.
