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 Heath. 

Our topic for Autumn Term is... 

The Stone Age

We will be learning about the Stone Age 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 life has changed during the Stone age into the Bronze and Iron age. 

LITERACY

In Literacy we are linking our History topic of the Stone age and using the film 'The Croods'. From this we will be writing our own stories from the past, as well as writing our own diaries and recounts as if we were a stone age person and poetry.  

Our class Novels this term are 'Stuck in the Stone Age' by Geoff Rodkey and 'The Witches' 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: Place Value, Addition and Subtraction and Multiplication and Division.

We will be beginning to look at the formal written methods of addition and subtraction and also multiplication and division :).
