Welcome to the second term of Year 3! We are really excited to continue learning this term in Eagle Class!

In English we are using the book 'Egyptian Cinderella' to think about alternative endings to stories.

Furthermore, we will use our  understanding of the book to think about traditional tales.

The second half term will look at 'The Great Kapok Tree' where children will be able to write persuasively.

The children in Maths will continue to learn a range of mathematical concepts from Power Maths (such as Multiplication & Division)

Topics will draw on prior knowledge from what was learnt in KS1.

In Religious Education children will look into Islam, to explore the question 'How do Muslims show their obedience to Allah?'

Children will be given the opportunity to consider other religions.

We will also be able to explore Christianity further, by looking at the question 'What kind of world did Jesus want?'

Our Science topics this term will look into Fossils, Soils, and Light. Children will ultimately be able to plan, prepare, explore, and evaluate their own experiment.
