Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!
This half term we will be learning how to shake it by exploring the topic of solids, liquids and gases. We will be doing lots of experiments including turning milk into butter.
We are all very excited for this new term as we look forward to our upcoming trips including visiting the Cutty Sark in Greenwich and our Silly Science workshop in which we've been raising money for by baking and selling delicious cakes for our bake sale at the start of term.
English
This term we will be reading the story of Krindlekrax. We will be exploring non-chronological reports and writing a report based on the book. We will be developing our knowledge on the use of direct speech as well as conjunctions and relative clauses. By the end of term we would've expanded our understanding on writing in present tense, writing to inform and adverbial phrases.

Maths
We will be concentrating on the three times tables this half term. We will also be developing our knowledge on division and exploring different strategies to work out the answers. Later on in the half term, we will be working with money and understanding amounts in pounds and pence, and converting them. After this we be learning how to add and subtract money.
