Welcome to Year 3!

Our current theme is ...

Romans on the Rampage!

During this theme, Year 3 will be immersed into all things Roman. We will be historians to investigate the lasting impact of the Roman Empire and we will be geographers to understand the volcanic eruption that entombed Pompeii. We will also enhance our scientific knowledge with units on plants and rocks!

For an overview of our learning this term, please read the parent overview below:

Things to remember:

Year 3 PE days are Monday (indoor) and Wednesday (outdoor). The children are welcome to bring some warmer clothes for outdoor PE.
Children need to read with an adult at least 3x a week and record this on 'Boomhub'. You will be provided with a login for this and it will be checked every Thursday. If your child has finished their reading book, they need to tell the class teacher who will allow them to go to the library to select a new one.
Children should access Times Table Rock Stars at least 3x a week on the following link: Times Tables Rock Stars: Play (ttrockstars.com)

Homework instructions will be given to children every Friday with the expectation that it is completed within a week (or two weeks in some instances) and returned to the class teacher the following Friday.

In English, we will be using the books ‘Romans on the Rampage’ by Jeremy Strong and ‘Escape from Pompeii’ by Christina Balit to inspire our writing, where we will be writing our own historical narratives and instructions on how to escape a volcanic eruption. We will also unpick these texts in our English lessons, where we will complete tasks using our comprehension skills.
