Year 3 - Elm Class & Ash Class

Spring Term in Year 3

We are delighted to welcome everyone back for the spring term of Year 3, following a fantastic first term! This term, our topic is Oceans and Rivers, and we’re looking forward to seeing our young learners continue to grow and thrive across all subjects.

In English, we will start utilising the grammar skills we developed during the autumn term. We will deepen our understanding of sentence structure by working with nouns, verbs, adjectives, and punctuation in more creative ways. We will apply our knowledge to our character description based around The Mousehole Cat. Other writing will look at composing a diary entry inspired by the book The Lighthouse. We are looking forward to sharing our class novel of Charlotte's Web.

In Maths, our focus will be on multiplication and division, learning formal written methods and strengthening our problem-solving skills. We’ll be working on the 8 times tables, while revisiting the 2's, 4’s, and 5’s learned previously. As always, our lessons will include active and engaging ways to help children master these key skills.

P.E. in Elm class will take place every Monday, and in Ash class every Wednesday. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their P.E. kit on these days.

We are thrilled to embark on this exciting spring term together and can’t wait to see all the amazing progress and creativity from our Year 3 learners!
