Year 3 2020 - 2021
Mrs Watts
Mrs Thomson
Welcome to Year 3's class page!
Our rainbows to spread cheer!
What an excellent start to the year we had last half term, ending with a fantastic Inside Out Arts Week! We have another busy and exciting half term ahead of us in Year 3.
Our text for this half term is Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies which we will use to inspire our English lessons. Our writing outcome is to write an informative article about whales persuading for the protection of the blue whale.
In Geography we will continue to develop our map reading and research skills using atlases, globes and digital maps. We will be exploring and comparing where we live to regions of Italy. Later in the term we will be learning all about volcanoes; their locations, causes and impact.
For more information about our topics this term see our Spring Term 2 Topic Web.
