Year 3G 2018 - 2019

Mrs Gill

Welcome back for our summer term! We hope you enjoyed your Easter break!

This half term RE will focus on the aftermaths of Easter and the teachings that Jesus led after his reincarnation. We will look at the rules that we should all follow and understand why it is important in society we follow the rules; this will include the ten commandments.

Maths will see an increase in the use of formal calculation methods and a greater use of multiplication and division. Times Tables Rockstars and mad minutes will be used weekly to aid these topics. Your children have a login and can access this at home too.

There will be a shift in our humanities lessons to history for this half term. We are look at the Ancient Egyptians and all of their achievements. The River Nile will play a big part in our learning and all of the benefits that it brought to such a technologically advanced civilisation.

This term in English we will be focussing on Traditional Poems by Eleanor Farjeon and Charles Causley. The focus will be the techniques the poets have used to write their poems. Narrative writing will follow this. We have linked this with our History topic and will be reading The Egyptian Cinderella. We will also be continuing to look at grammar, as we need to improve our understanding of completing and punctuating sentences.

Andy Warhol was a prolific artist and known worldwide for his work. We will be looking at different aspects of his life and work and we are hoping to reproduce some Pop-art style pieces.

Our computing topic is all about communicating online, something which most of us a doing more and more frequently. We will be teaching children how to be safe and what apps are appropriate/not appropriate.

Homework should be completed to the same standard that work is completed to within the classroom environment. Please can you encourage your children to write in their homework books in pencil as they do in class please. Remember to read with your child daily and practise spellings and times tables that are sent home.
