Year 3 have enjoyed another busy week studying the Egyptians and we were very pleased to get into the swimming pool on Thursday, where it was nice and warm! In Maths, we have been learning about calculating the movement of time in seconds and minutes. In English, we have been writing our own non chronological reports about fictional monsters.

Maths:  We will be continuing to learn about time, measuring the duration of time in hours. We will also be learning about the months of the year.

English: We will be writing our own non chronological reports about the Egyptians, editing our writing and then publishing onto neat writing paper.

Foundation:  

In History, we will be learning about some Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.

In Science, we will be learning about the parts inside of a plant and what their jobs are. We will be making our own models of plants to show the different reproductive parts of a flower.

In RE, we will be learning about Sikh places of worship – Gurdwaras.

In Art, we will be creating final designs for our Ancient Egyptian scrolls. We will be using a range of patterns, images and colours.

In PSHE, we will be learning about the different health values of meals. We will be looking at the protein, carbohydrate and fat levels in a variety of home made and ready meals.

In PE, we will be taking part in athletics activities to prepare for Sports Day and continuing our swimming lessons.

The Maths homework sheet will be given out on Tuesday – please could children complete this and hand it in by Friday so teachers can mark, provide feedback and hand back by the following week.

Please continue to practise the weekly spelling words at home in whichever way your child finds most useful. We also cover these words during our spelling lessons, so it is great if the children have prior knowledge of what we are covering!

Children are also encouraged to continuing using Times Table Rockstars for extra multiplication practise.

Optional History project homework for this half term – please see details below!
