Year 3 2025
Welcome to Year 3
Miss Zhu and Mrs Parkhouse make up our Year 3 Team.
Autumn Term 2026
English
Our key text will be ‘Red and the City’ by Marie Voigt. We will focus on expanded noun phrases, coordinating conjunctions and using inverted commas to punctuate speech. The children will write their own version of the story over the half term. We will also look at non-chronological reports towards the end of the half term.
Maths
In maths, we will be exploring numbers to 1,000. Within this unit we will explore the fact that ten tens are equivalent to one hundred as well as looking at multiples of ten in a range of three digit numbers. We will then turn to look at measure and shape in the second half of the term. Looking at measuring the perimeter, drawing polygons as well as adding and subtracting money.
Theme
We will begin our theme lessons with PSHE and we will be thinking about our aspirations for both this year and the future.
Our geography theme this half term is focused on counties in the North West of England. Within this theme we will conduct some map work exploring where the counties are. We will also learn some of the key physical and human features of the different counties. Fieldwork will be a part of this topic and we will visit Godley Reservoir during the half term to enrich our geographical enquiry skills. We will then turn to look at Ancient Egypt in our history work.
Science
In our science lessons, the children will be learning about movement and nutrition. We will be finding out about the skeleton, the bones in our body, muscles and movement, nutrient groups and a balanced diet.
