A Letter from Miss Gee
Year 3 Autumn 1 Newsletter

Our Topic This half term our topic will be related to our Text ‘The Rabbits’ which covers themes of Invasion and Diversity. This links to our History topic about The Anglo Saxons and their invasion of Britain and subsequent integration into the population. The children will be learning about how to order events on timelines and begin to develop a chronological understanding of the various invasions of Britain. The children will learn about the Anglo-Saxon way of life, about their settlements and villages and how they survived. They will examine artefacts and look for clues as to how people in the past lived. This theme will also relate Geography and to how Britain has changed. Children will be using ICT, maps and atlases to identify cities, rivers, mountains and other geographical features of our land. The children will also be getting creative and making some Anglo-Saxon Jewellery and masks! |

English Our English topic for Autumn 1 will be the book ‘The Rabbits’. Children will be consolidating and revisiting what they have learned in Year 2 about writing sentences using correct punctuation. We will be writing some factual reports and some short stories and working lots on our spellings! Maths In Maths we will be securing our number understanding of place value of 2 digit numbers and then moving on to understanding 3 digit numbers. We will be practicing our times tables making sure we know our 2s, 5s and 10s very well before moving on to 3’s and beyond! |

Homework Your child will receive spellings to practice on a Monday and must please return these on Friday. On the back of this sheet is a 5 minute times table grid for your child to practice their recall knowledge and improve their score each week! Reading Your child will be sent home with a book to read which will be regularly changed. Your child is expected to read with an adult a minimum of five times per week. Please sign their reading record when they have read. This will ensure your child makes progress in reading in school. Please talk about stories and enjoy them together. This will really help! |
