Red Deer
Welcome to Red Deer Class!
Welcome back after half term, we're now officially on the way to Christmas! We have some exciting things we are going to be taking part over the next few weeks, I am certainly looking forward to them!
What we will be learning about this half term:
In English, we are going to be exploring the book 'Small in the City' by Sydney Smith. We will learn about how to hold a debate, and we will go on to using lots of descriptive language, helping us with our writing, including a diary entry and work with poetry. Later in the half-term we will read the story 'Leon and the Place Between'. Here we will learn about the wonders of magic and how we can use our imagination to capture our senses and use them within our work! Let the wonder of magic begin!
In Maths, we will be continuing the half term learning about addition and subtraction before going on to multiplication and division. We will have a focus on our times tables that we will learn across Year Three and learn some methods to help us work these out.
Our foundation subjects on the lead up to Christmas are History and Science. In History we are learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. In Computing we will cover some more E-Safety and also look at data handling. In RE we will be learning more about Christianity. We will look at some of the stories that are important to Christians and later in the half term we are lucky enough to be going to visit a Day Centre to sing some Christmas songs to the residents. In Spanish this half term we are learning about numbers and ages. Finally we will have fun looking at the creation of pneumatic toys in DT and how they work. In PE our focus will be on learning gymnastic skills, focusing on balance and how we compose ourselves.
On the main year group page, you will find the weekly spelling homework, this half-term's homework and where to find websites that might be useful when completing this, as well as a document that has the website links for several sites that you can access and the children can play maths games that will help them to develop their fluency and enable them to recall quickly key information such as number bonds and timetables.
If you have any questions, please speak to me in the playground either before or after school.
Many thanks,
Miss Holloway and Mrs Hilton :)
