English
Pupils will study a variety of different genres of writing ncluding non-chronological reports, instructions and stories. During our English lessons throughout the Summer term, Year 3 will be focusing on writing a Biography, formal letter and a descriptive narrative. Throughout all lessons, we will continue to reinforce and develop the use of accurate punctuation and grammar alongside a focus upon the Year 3/4 statutory spelling list (which can be found in the documents).
Reading
During the Summer term, Year 3 will study a range of books starting with ‘The Firework Makers Daughter’ and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ We will focus upon the core reading skills of vocabulary, inference, retrieval.
The children will also take home their own reading book from school based upon their ZPD level. We encourage the children to read every day, whether this be independently or through shared experiences, across a range of text types to support their confidence, fluency and exposure to vocabulary.
Maths
As a school, we follow the Power Maths scheme and the units we cover are outlined in our curriculum overview. In the summer term we are focusing on Fractions, Money, Time and Angles. In addition to this, we complete a daily 5 in 5 (five questions to test the retrieval of mathematical learning) We also use TTRockstars every morning to help build confidence, fluency and accuracy within the subject.. Year 3 focus on the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10 times tables.
During the Summer term, the children will study a variety of interesting units in our wider curriculum which are outlined in our curriculum overview.
