Class 3

In RE this term, we will be discussing the ‘Holy Trinity’ and what this means for Christians and how they live their lives. We will also be exploring the question: Why do Christians call the day Jesus died ‘Good Friday’?

In English, we will be looking at a variety of texts which come under the themes of ‘Hope and Healing and ‘Overcoming Adversity’.  We will be reading two versions of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, as well as The Tin Forest by Helen Ward and writing reports, formal letters, diaries, postcards and information leaflets.  In the second half of the Spring Term, we will be using our knowledge of the river Nile to help us when reading Cinderella of the Nile and Africa, Amazing Africa.  We will be writing ‘How to…’ guides and Non-Chronological Reports.

In Maths, we will be revising and extending our knowledge of the 3, 4 and 8 times tables. We will begin to look at Multiplication and Division further by learning how to multiply and divide a two digit number by a one digit number. We be learning about how to measure in mm’s, cm’s and metres and also how to work out the perimeter of a shape. Furthermore, we will begin work on Fractions this term and learn how to compare and order fractions.

In History, we will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians.  We will be finding out about the importance of the river Nile to them; their beliefs in immortality and the afterlife, as well as the many Gods they worshipped.  The Egyptians developed systems for writing, built magnificent buildings and mummified their important people.  We will be learning about all of it.

In Science, we will be learning about ‘Rocks and Soils’. Children will learn about igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. We will explore the appearance, texture and hardness of different rocks. Children will discover the soil is made from rocks and organic matter and the different soil types. Furthermore, children will learn how fossils are formed and what they tell us about the past.
