What We Are Learning About - Summer 1

In Religion, through the topic of Pentecost the children will be thinking about the strength of the Holy Spirit. We will learn about this through the conversation of Saul, letters from Paul and the Road to Emmaus. 

Maths

In Maths, we will be looking at Mass and capacity. The children will learn how to use scales, measure mass in kilograms and grams along with equivalent masses. They will also be working on measuring capacity and volume in millilitres and litres.

English

In English, we will be looking at a fiction book called 'Orion and the dark'. This text really helps the children to develop their understanding of how to write a letter of persuasion. Through this text the children will also be looking at writing detailed explanation sentences and a kenning poem.

What You Need to Know

Please send your child in their PE kit on the days they do PE. For Y3K this will be on a Monday and a Thursday. For Y3C it will be on a Monday and a Wednesday.

PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.

Homework will be given on Fridays to reflect the week’s learning, in Maths, spellings and handwriting. We recommend spending no more than 20 - 30 minutes on homework per night. Children will also practise spellings and take part in the Grand Spell each week. 

Please check this page regularly as we will be posting updates on there as well as the school website.

Please make sure that aside from completing homework, your child is reading for a minimum of 10 minutes every night. If you have any concerns about your child’s homework, please speak to Mrs Coyle or Mr Kendrick
