Welcome to Year 3!
Our current theme is The Greatest Show!
In this block of learning, our topic will be The Greatest show. Children will explore the fascinating history of the circus, discovering how it began and how it has changed over time. We will look closely at traditional and modern circus tent designs, learning how they were built and why they were so important to travelling shows.
As part of our history work, we will also investigate how leisure, entertainment, and the idea of ‘fun’ have developed throughout society. Children will compare past and present forms of entertainment and think about how people’s free time has changed through the decades.
It promises to be an exciting term full of creativity, curiosity, and new knowledge!
Key Information
PE
We will have PE lessons on a Tuesday and Thursday this year. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is named and in school at all times as we sometimes have additional sessions too.
Reading
Children are expected to be reading at home at least 3 times per week and record this in their reading record. We will be checking weekly how the children get on with this.
Times tables
Children are encouraged to continue using TimesTable Rockstars at home 3 times per week. Every child has their username and password to enable them to log in. This will be checked in school, if you have any problems logging in, please speak to the class teacher. Of course, there are also many other ways to practice you multiplication facts alongside.
Purple Mash
The children have access to Purple Mash which they can use whenever they want. This platform can be used to support them in completing their weekly theme homework.
Weekly homework
Each week, the children are set a piece of homework to be completed by the following Friday. Usually, the homework pieces have a 1 week deadline, but this is occasionally extended due to the time and effort required of the task set. If you have any questions about the homework task, please do not hesitate to contact the class teacher.
