• Extension & Enrichment Activities

Welcome to Year Three!

We are excited to welcome you back into school in 2023 and to start our ‘Chariots of Fire’ topic!

English

During our English sessions, we will be writing historical narratives, initially starting with a range of Stone Age texts and moving on to our focus text ‘Escape from Pompeii’. We will also be writing Haikus, explanation texts based on volcanoes, and diary entries based on our guided reading text – ‘The Journal of Iliona, Young Slave’.

Guided Reading

Whole class Guided Reading this term will focus on a range of exciting texts: ‘The Travels of Ermine’ by Jennifer Gray, ‘Roman Diary: The Journal of Iloina, Young Slave’ by Richard Platt, ‘Romans on the Rampage’ by Jeremy Strong and ‘Julius Caesar’s Goat’ by Dick King Smith.

Maths

Within Maths, we will be exploring a range of number, measurement, and statistic tasks. We will focus on money and fractions in depth this term, whilst also recapping length and perimeter and fractions.

Science

Our science work will focus around the unit of ‘Properties of Materials’ with a focus on rocks and their properties.
