Squirrels Class Y3
Welcome to Term 5!
We hope you had a lovely break and enjoyed the Easter celebrations.
In English we will begin by learning how to write a playscript and then we will be writing a diary. Our class text this term is The Boy Who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd.
In Maths, we will learn about mass and capacity and then move onto more work on fractions.
Over the next two terms in Science we will be examining the life cycle of plants, and identifying their requirements in order to function, grow and reproduce. We will explore how different environments can affect plant growth and investigate how water is transported from the soil and how plants use sunlight to produce food.
We will be studying our local area in Geography, conducting fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human and physical features using sketch maps, plans, graphs and digital technologies.
In Art, our focus is botanical art, where we will be using our observation skills to draw and use collage.
In PE, we will be playing dynamo cricket and tennis. Our PE days are Tuesday and Fridays. We intend to be outside more this term, as the weather continues to improve. Therefore along with a named PE kit, please ensure your child also has a named hat, sun tan lotion and a water bottle in school.
Finally, we will be reflecting on the question, When Jesus left, what was the impact of the Pentecost? in our RE lessons.
We will be welcoming student teacher, Mrs Mugford, in her final teaching placement. She has already spent some time with the children and will be joining us for a longer period from the beginning of May until the end of June.
As you can see, another busy fun packed term lies ahead. If you have any questions or queries, please send them via your child's contact book or the school office.
With very best wishes,
Mrs Baker and Miss Magowan
