Welcome to Year 3 with Mr Furby and Mrs Ward. 

Summer Term

Welcome to Swifts Class! We have a very exciting half-term ahead of us.

This is what we will be learning about in each subject in the summer term:

In English, we will be reading The Dancing Bear by Michael Morpurgo. We will look at summarising and exploring. We will consider how authors use words for emotive effect. We will learn how different texts use the same effect to impact on the reader.  

In our writing we will be looking at a third-person animal narrative and writing formal letters. 

In Maths, we will be exploring fractions, money and time. 

In Science, we will be looking at Rocks. Children will be able to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties, describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock and recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter. 

In our Geography lessons, we will be looking at volcanoes, how they are formed and where they

In History lessons we will study Ancient Greece and the Persian Empire.

In Religious Education lessons we will learn about Judaism. 

PSHE is also an integral part of our working week and we have a dedicated weekly lesson where we explore the personal, social and emotional aspects of the lives of young people living in our modern world.

The children will learn to design and create 3D art with clay in our Art lessons.

French is taught every Wednesday afternoon covering a wide range of French grammar and vocabulary. 

Throughout the year, one PE session will be taught by Mrs Kee. Our PE days will be Wednesday and Friday, please send your child to school in PE kit. 

We are looking forward to a busy and exciting year. As ever, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask anyone in our Year 3 team.
