Year 3 Class Page

Autumn Term 1

Welcome to Year 3, we are looking forward to working with you and having a fantastic year!

Our topic for Autumn 1 is Scotland.  The children will be given the opportunity to gain skills in map reading and using maps and atlases to locate different areas.  They will learn about the physical geography of Scotland and will have cross-curricular links in areas such as Literacy and Computing.  Children will also make geographical comparisons with Scotland and where they live.

In Science, we will be focusing on forces, including magnetism.  Children will learn what a force is and the different types of forces they will come across in real life.  Through discussion and physical experiments, children will understand how magnets work and compare how things move differently.

Homework will be set on Google Classroom each Friday and is expected to be returned the following Wednesday.

Every child has a Mathletics and Reading Eggs login and password, please encourage your child to access these programmes every day.  They can earn certificates each week for the participation and achievement!

Reading records need to be completed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a comment and parent / carer's signature.  

PE days are Monday (pm) and Wednesday (pm).  PE kits are made up of black bottoms, black trainers and a white t-shirt.

Please do not hesitate to let any of the Year 3 team know if you have any questions.  Thank you.

If you would like more information about the curriculum SPSM follows, please ask your child's class teacher.  Thank you.
