Year 3 Curriculum Projects

Year 3 Project - Through the Ages

In the Through the Ages project, your child will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. They explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. They will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.

English

We are continuing our unit based on the book 'How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth'. The children have learnt how to write an engaging introduction, use bullet points to list items, give addition information and warnings in brackets and finish with a concluding sentence. 

We will follow this with a mini reading comprehension unit. The children will read a text, discuss vocabulary and clarify their understanding before answering questions.

Maths

We are continuing our unit on Addition and Subtraction.

We are using columns for addition and subtraction. We have begun using exchange for both. We have done this practically, through completing calculations (and ensuring the exchanges are recorded accurately) and then we will move to completing questions using problem solving and reasoning. 

If you would like to help with extra practise for your child at home, please use the word 'exchange' rather than 'carrying' (if that's how you learnt it). 

 

Additional Information

We are going to Lenham Church with Yr4 on Monday 21st at 1.30pm. If you would like to walk with us, then please let us know.
