Year 3 Curriculum Overview
Summer Term Newsletter
This term the children are starting a new topic on North America. The focus of this topic will be looking at a chronological timeline, human and physical geography, traditional folk tales, map skills, weather and climate and lots more!
In reading this term, we are reading a book by Hannah Moffatt called 'Small'. The main character, Harvey, is a small boy in a giant world and he lives on stilts. He has been such a naughty boy, that he has been kicked out of all his previous schools, so his Mum decides to send him to giant school where he is faced with the school inspectors and Madame Bogbrush.
We will be looking at each chapter closely focusing on different reading skills, such as, prediction, retrieval, inference, vocabulary and summary.
In English this term our focus will be on traditional tales, playscripts and poetry. We start off the term by reading our model text, 'Jack and the Beanstalk' where we will learn the story through a story map and actions. Year 3 will then share their ideas to write a class version of the tale and by the end of the unit they will be writing their very own traditional tale.
In Maths we are are continuing our learning of fractions with a focus on adding and subtracting. We will also be looking at money, time, shape and statistics.
Our Science topic this term is 'Animals including humans' and our focus for this will be learning how a skeleton supports us, how our muscles help us to move and looking closely at a healthy balanced diet.
