Hello everyone and welcome to Year 3! 

This is our class page where you can find information about what we are learning about and also any other information which maybe useful! 

The staff in Year 3 this year are Mrs Goff, Miss Baker, Mrs Shaw and Mrs Harrington-Groves. 

Our topic for Summer Term is... 

The Acient Mayan Civilisation

We will be learning about the Mayan people and how their life was and also comparing their way of life with our own. We will explore how they hunted and where they lived as well thinking about how the tribes grew and thrived in areas of America. 

LITERACY

In Literacy we are linking our geography topic of rainforests and South America and using the film 'Rio'. From this we will be writing our own stories from other cultures, as well as fables, discussion texts, biographies and poetry.  

Our class Novels this term are 'Oh Maya Gods!' by Maz Evans and 'Esio Trot' by Roald Dahl. 

We have a real love for reading in Year 3.

We are also really lucky to have Mr Kemp come in with exciting new books too :).  

Maths 

Our maths units this term are: fractions, money, time, shape, statistics and an overview of the four operations. 

Additional Information
