Tornadoes Class Page

We are delighted to welcome you to our year 3 class page and are looking forward to sharing all our exciting work with you as the year progresses.  We will update our page termly to share all the learning we have been curious about and the fun we have been having!

Summer: Term 2

In Science this term we will be investigating Plants.  Our focus will be initially on identifying the different parts of a plant and their functions.  We will also be thinking about the best conditions for a plant to grow.  As part of our science work we will be carrying out different science experiments focusing on making predictions and thinking about method and results.

In Geography this term we will be spending time investigating our locality starting with our school grounds and then stretching further into the village.  We will be investigating what flora and fauna is and then thinking about what examples of these we can find in different locations. We are very excited to be getting involved in some Geography fieldwork and keeping our fingers crossed for some good weather!

Our English work will firstly be based upon the book 'Heart In A Bottle' written by Oliver Jeffers. Through our investigation into this book we will be writing some narratives which contain a dilemma. 

We will be developing our reading skills by working firstly with the story book 'I am the seed that grew the tree' by Fiona Waters and then the book 'The Magic and Mystery of Trees'.

Maths

In Maths this term we shall be exploring multiplication and division further developing our knowledge of the 8 times tables. We will also be looking at shape thinking about the features of 2 and 3D shapes and investigating symmetry. After we are feeling confident with shape, we will be exploring statistics where we will be thinking about collecting data and presenting it using different kinds of graphs and tables.

PE

Our PE sessions this term will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Children need to attend school wearing their kit.
