Year 3
Year 3 - Back to School!
Dear Y3 children,
I'm really looking forward to seeing you all for the last month of term! First up are Group 2, who will be in school on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th June. Then Group 1, who will be in on Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th June.
We are starting with a mini-topic about the New Forest, so anything you can find out about how the New Forest works, the stock, commoning, habitat and wildlife would be great. If you can, please bring in your own pens, pencils, erasers, etc.
See you soon!
Mr Hill x

Talk For Writing
As a Talk 4 Writing school, we place emphasis on children learning to orally retell different types of texts using story maps and actions. Throughout the year, children will learn approximately 9-12 model texts. We ask all parents to support children with learning these texts at home orally, so that children can use them to create their own versions.
The table below highlights the text types and texts that we are learning in Year 3. The table will be updated and added to throughout the year. Please download the texts and story maps and practise retelling them. Aim to retell the texts with actions and expression!

Topic Learning Autumn Term One
In Autumn Term One, Year Three enjoyed learning about the Ancient Egyptians. The pictures below show us making Canopic Jars. We also had an Egyptian drama workshop as our Fantastic Finale. It was so exciting and we came to school dressed up!

Topic Learning Autumn Term Two
This half term, our topic is Le MasterChef. We are looking forward to baking (and eating) our own French bread and thinking about healthy fillings as part of our D&T and Science learning. In Geography, we will be learning about Europe, with a particular focus on comparing an area in France with Hampshire.
