Happy New Year and welcome to a new term.
Unfortunately it is not possible for us to begin the term working together in our classroom. For those children working at home, learning has been posted on Google Classroom together with a suggested timetable. This will be updated later in the week. Children in school will follow the same learning activities. Details of how to access Google Classroom can be found in the children’s homework diaries.
This week one teacher and one teaching assistant from the year 3 team will be working in school while the other teacher and a teaching assistant will support learning at home.
Learning will be based on the following topics;
- In mathematics we will focus on place value.
- In English we will learn to write a non-chronological report.
- In science we will investigate rocks.
- In geography we will learn about mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes.
- In RE we will consider why it is important to care for our world.
Please contact us on year3@howard.croydon.sch.uk if you have questions about your child’s learning or are unable to access learning on Google Classroom.
We have now reached the last week of the school term. The children have worked really hard and deserve a well earned break.
This week our learning will be as follows.
- In mathematics we will learn to tell the time to the nearest five minutes.
- In English we will act out a section of Into the Forest in small groups before recording our drama in playscript form.
- In history we will learn about the Iron Age.
- In RE we will learn about the symbolism connected with the Wise Men’s visit to the baby Jesus.
