Year 3

Religion 

The focus to begin this term is "Who is your neighbour?" We will be learning who Jesus says our neighbour is and how we should show love towards them. This will be done through the teaching of the commandment ‘Love thy neighbour’ as well as through learning about the parable The Good Samaritan.

English

Reading

We are continuing to read The One and Only Ivan with a focus on inferencing by looking at the connections between the experiences of characters in the text and their own personal experiences.

Writing

We are finishing our learning on narrative writing and beginning to learn the structure of procedure writing. In both text types we are focusing on being able to group like ideas to form simple paragraphs, with use of adjectives to add meaning to the text.

Maths

We are looking at multiplication, particularly multiplication facts for 3, 4, 5 and 10. We will then take this knowledge and apply the facts to develop the related division facts. 

We have begun learning about angles looking at what right angles are and identifying angles that are smaller, larger and equal to right angles. Once we have finished learning about angles we will then begin learning about mapping.
