Our topic this term:
The Iron Man
This term we will be exploring a range of topics related to The Iron Man, by Ted Hughes. In English, we will be writing our own Science-Fiction stories alongside reading the classic story. In Art & Design Technology, we'll explore creating 3D sculptures leading up to creating our own models of the Iron Man. In French, we will learn to name different shapes. Our science topic for this term is Forces & Magnets.

Homework
In year 3, we do reading and spellings as homework.
Reading should be completed at least 5 times each week and recorded in diaries each time a child reads. Children can write in the book and pages read but reading diaries must be signed by an adult each time a child reads. The number of times a child has read is counted up on a MONDAY and the more they read, the more credits they will earn.
At least once a week children need to complete an online Accelerated Reader quiz in school or at home (link is at the bottom of this page) when they have finished a book to show how well they understood what was read and will retake the quiz if they aren't successful at first. Children's login details will be in the front of their homework diary. On a FRIDAY we check that all children have completed a quiz and they will be awarded credits for each quiz passed.
Children also need to regularly learn and practise their statutory spellings which are stuck in the back of their homework diary and are below. These are the words that all children in primary schools are expected to know by the end of their key stage as part of the English National Curriculum. We will choose 20 words at random from the list to test in the last week of term to track children's progress.
Year 3 PE
Our PE days are on Mondays (outdoors) and Tuesdays (outdoors), weather permitting. Please make sure children come in wearing full PE kit (trainers, black leggings/joggers, plain white t-shirt and red school jumper) on these days. Earrings must be removed or taped up and hair must be tied up if it can be.
