Layer-de-la-Haye C of E Primary School

welcome to year 3

This page will give you an overview of our learning in class each term. As learning takes place, we will update the page with photos and links to share classwork and other activities with you.

This term our enquiry question is 'How do we draw strength from a catastrophe?'. Our project focus is geography and DT.

During our geography project we are exploring sustainability and the damage earthquakes can cause. We will be looking firstly at the country of New Zealand and then discussing countries further around the world. We will also be considering how humans can live sustainably in order to benefit the earth.

DT: Textiles

In our DT project, we will be developing our skills in textiles.

We will be using skills to make cushions using both cross-stich and applique. 

MATHS: Multiplication and division

This half term we are exploring formal methods of multiplication and division. The children have begun to find links between multiplaction and division facts using arrays.

English

This half term we will be looking at character descriptions based on the text 'Ice Palace' followed by 'Pugs of the Frozen North'. Children are beginning to develop their understanding of expanded noun phrases and are being introduced to similies. These skills are to aid the writing of rich and detailed character descriptions alongside the use of story mapping.
