Spring 2

Reading
In our shared reading lessons, we will be developing our skills by reading and understanding texts across a range of genres- both fiction and non-fiction.
An important way to support your child’s learning at home is to read with them. All children are expected to read 3 or more times a week at home. Diaries will be checked every Friday.

English
This half term will be inspired by the book ‘The Boy with the Bronze Axe' as well as lots of other books based during the Stone age and Iron Age.
We will be learning how to write persuasive letters and non-chronological reports. We will be learning about paragraphs, subheadings, rhetorical questions, exaggeration and many other techniques that will make our writing fantastic!

Maths
In our maths lessons this half-term, we will be continuing our topic of learning, multiplication and division. We will be using our knowledge of partitioning to help solve multiplication number sentences.
Please keep practicing your times tables at home using tackling tables – it is amazing to have a fast recall of times table facts! If you need a copy of your child’s log in details, please ask a member of the year 3 team.

PE
This half term, PE will be on Tuesday and Friday. Our unit in PE is Target Games. Children should make sure their kit is in school for each session. I would recommend bringing PE kits to school on a Monday, keeping them in school all week, and taking them home on Friday to be washed over the weekend.
