Welcome to Year 3's Homepage.
In IPC our topic for this term is 'Saving The World'. This unit is based around what we as individuals can do to help our planet. How can we be more environmentally aware and what can we do within our local community. In addtion to this, we will also be focusing on the Amazon rainforest and the animals that reside within this amazing habbitat.
Entry Point
For our Entry Point into this amazing unit, we transformed our classroom into a rainforest. Below is some of the fantastic work that we produced.
English
In English this term we will be focusing on the book 'The Great Kapok Tree'. Through this book, we will be focusing on the English skills needed to write letters and the skills needed to write an effective description. In addition to this, we will also be focusing on the use of conjunctions to create cohesion in our writing and also using similes.
Maths
In maths we have been using our understanding of estimation to make logical guesses in regards to size and following this through with the use of practical investigations. On top of this we have been looking at the use of addition and subtraction and how understanding these operations assist use within our maths work. We will continue practising this for this half term.
