Learning Update
It has been a busy and exciting start to our learning in Year 3!
Literacy – The First Drawing
We have started reading The First Drawing, which has provided lots of opportunities for discussion and creative thinking. We will soon be using the story as inspiration to write our own recounts, focusing on sequencing events, using interesting vocabulary and including key details.
Maths
In Maths, we have been developing our understanding of addition and subtraction. We are now working with three-digit numbers and building our confidence when solving problems using different methods. We have also been developing our estimation skills, thinking carefully about whether our answers are sensible.
History – Through the Ages
Our topic this term is Through the Ages. We are currently studying the Stone Age, which links closely with our English learning. We have explored cave paintings and investigated the tools and weapons used by Stone Age people. We have also learned about Stonehenge, discussing its possible purposes before creating our own drawings.
We have been exploring what life was like during the Stone Age, including how people lived, hunted and survived. The children have been enjoying making connections between what we learn in History and our reading and writing.
Science
In Science, we have been learning about human nutrition and animal diets. We have explored what humans need to stay healthy and investigated what different animals eat. We have also considered how some animals' diets can change throughout the year depending on the seasons and the availability of food.
It has been wonderful to see the children getting stuck into their learning and showing such enthusiasm and curiosity across all of our subjects!
