Year 3 Spotlight - Summer 1

Year 3 have had a busy term! We have been incredible mathematicians learning about fractions, finding equivalent fractions, adding, and subtracting fractions and solving fraction word problems. We have been learning to tell the time and looking at duration of time.

In science, we have been amazing scientists learning about light and used our observation skills to recognise that shadows are formed when the light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object.

We have been excellent Geographers learning about climate zones, there was a lot of knowledge to learn, and we have been super impressed with their understanding. To end this exciting unit of work we worked in groups and acted out being a meteorologist broadcasting the daily weather conditions. The children did an amazing job using key language from our geography lessons. Ask your child about the climate zones, and which climate zone the UK is in, you will be impressed!

In our English lessons, we have looked at many different genres of writing, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. We have produced some fabulous and creative writing using expanded noun phrases, interesting word choices, similes, metaphors, personification and ‘show don’t tell’ techniques.

In Art we have been creating abstract sculptures and have made our fabulous art designs using a variety of modelling materials.

We are incredibly proud of all the children and their amazing learning!
