Summer Term

In English, we are looking at poetry about train a journey - this week we are planning our own based on a journey . In the holidays Ms Clive and Mrs Patel videoed the journey from Epping to London and we have made a word bank of words and figurative language to help us after watching it.
In Maths, we are still looking at fractions - finding fractions of numbers and using bar models to help our learning. We are working with larger numbers and partitioning them into smaller amounts first.
PE. The teachers are teaching Hockey this half term and the children made a great start with accurate passing and receiving.
Science - we are starting our new topic on animals and humans, including skeletons, muscles and what our bodies need to be healthy.
This links with our work in PSHE , in which we are looking at healthy foods, food groups, and how to keep our teeth healthy.
Topic - we have a Geography based topic this term, looking at the UK. We are learning about some of the mountains, major rivers and seas in the UK as well as naming some important cities.

English - we completed our train journey poems and the children wrote them up in their best handwriting for display. The children described what they would see out of a carriage window, as a train travels from Epping to Stratford. We were very impressed with their use of similes, metaphors, personification and alliteration.
Maths - in maths we have started learning about money ! We have started with naming the coins and notes and next week we will start to add and subtract amounts and find change.
Science - in science we are looking at food groups and the eat well plate. The children are learning the Nutrional values of different foods.
RE - in R.E. we delved into a mosque and what you would find inside. The children can name and describe the main features.
PSHE - we looked at basic first aid and how to deal with non-emergency injuries.
Music - thank you if you came and supported Year 3 performing Mary Poppins earlier this week. What an amazing job all of Year 3 (and Year 4) did on Tuesday, all the staff involved in the production were very proud of them all. It was just wonderful.
