All the staff in Year 3 would
like to welcome you back to
school after the Easter Break.
Also joining us, is Miss
Anderton, who will be here
until the end of the school
year. We welcome Mrs Burton
to class 10, who has taken over
as Teaching Assistant following
Mrs Sillence successfully
obtaining a new job. We wish
her well.
Our topic this term is
‘Robin Hood’.
Literacy will be based
around legends, especially
the legend of Robin Hood.
The children will be writing
scripts to present the news
from either ‘Nottingham
Castle’ or from ‘Sherwood
Forest’. This will be videoed.
We are planning an exciting
trip to Porchester Castle
near Portsmouth later in the
term so will be learning all
about the different types
of castles. This will be
related to geography,
looking at why castles were
built in certain areas.
Reminders
Please check all of your child’s
clothes to make sure they are
all labelled, either with a name
or with the number.
As the weather gets
warmer please ensure your
child arrives at school with
suntan lotion applied. The
staff are unable to apply sun
cream, however you may send
a bottle of lotion into school
so that your child can apply it
to themselves during the day.
The bottle must have your
child’s name on it. We also
encourage hats to be worn at
break times and lunch times.
Science is all about plants
– plant reproduction and
the transportation of
water within plants.
In art the children will
look at sections of the
Bayeux Tapestry, discuss
how artwork can tell a
story. Following on from
this the children will be
able to create their own
stories, look at camouflage
and experience weaving.
ICT – the children have
learnt how to program on
the ipad, they will now
take these skills to
program small Pro bots or
Bee bots.
