Our Year 3 children are taught in Hare Moonwood Class by Mrs Reed, Mrs Douglas and Mrs Amey. We also have several teaching assistants: Mrs Paffley, Mrs Perry and Mrs Thomas.
Moonwood was a talking hare who lived in the sixth century, during the Age of Conquest. He lived under the Great Waterfall in the west of Narnia. His hearing was so sensitive, that he could hear a whispered conversation in Cair Paravel above the roar of the waterfall. You can read about Moonwood in the book, 'The Last Battle'.
Hare Moonwood Class
What we do:
MATHS
In Maths, we are learning to read mass on scales, measure in mm, cm and metres, convert measurements, tell the time, order fractions, round numbers, learn our times tables and problem solve.
LITERACY
In Literacy, the emphasis is on learning to recognise the features of different genres of writing and being able to use these in our own writing. Where possible, our texts are linked to our topic. This term, we will be using ‘A Castle in my Attic and the 'Just So stories.’ An important feature of our daily Literacy sessions is our spelling, punctuation and grammar lessons.
HISTORY
DECADES
Topic work is fun, interesting and varied. This term our topic in year 3 is all about Decades. They will be taught through drama, music, dance and personal research. The Year 3 pupils will enjoy using the internet, books, music, art and artefacts to find out about the past. They will study: the food, clothing, music, technology, the homes and how they changed over the years. Also, they will study important events that happened during those times.
DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY
The children are very excited about baking biscuits from the different decades. They will research into different recipes, make them and then taste them.
COMPUTING
In year 3, we will have an opportunity to create some bar charts and graphs about the different heights of our plants over time.
SCIENCE
Hare Moonwood will study: the different parts of a plant, what plants need to live, how different conditions can make a difference as to how well a plant grows and a plant’s life cycle.
DRAMA PERFORMANCE
This term, we will get to share with the parents our class panto. The children are very excited about this!
GEOGRAPHY
The children will get the opportunity to use atlases to find places around the World.
