Welcome to Summer Term in Year 3

I hope you have had a lovely Easter break and are feeling energised and are looking forward to more Year 3 learning. 

Take a look at what Year 3 will be up to this term:

Maths 

Throughout this term we will be using Power Maths to focus on:

• Fractions
• Time
• Angles and property of shape
• Mass and capacity 

English

This term in English we will be using 'Alba the hundred year old fish' written by LAra Hawthorne to help inspire and fuel our imaginations to write a non-chronological report in the form of an information board.  We will then use a book called  'A stage full of Shakespeare stories' written by Angela McAllister to write a paly script based upon Julius Caesar.  These will support us to build our skills in Grammar, vocabulary, punctuation and composition.
