Year 3
During this half term, we will be learning about Myths and Legends with a focus on Ancient Greece. We will read stories based on Greek gods and goddesses and find out where Greece is located in the world.
In English we will read the stories of ‘Perseus and Medusa’ and ‘Theseus and the Minotaur’ and use role play and story mapping to deepen our understanding of the text. We will learn how to describe a character using adjectives, alliteration and adverbials of manner.
In Maths we will learn time for 12 hour and 24 hour (digital and analogue) and continue to learn the times tables. We will learn how to collect information from tables and timetables (linked to time) and further our knowledge of subtraction, including three digit numbers and exchanging.
In Science we will focus on light and shadows, finding out about how light travels and find out how rainbows are formed and create our own using mirrors in water. We will make a sundial and explore how shadows change throughout the day and investigate objects that reflect and block the light.
In History we will use historical artefacts and sources to explore and make inferences about the past and learn about what the ancient Greeks achieved and how they impacted our lives today. We will find out about daily life during this period in history.
In PE we will further develop our Basketball skills by playing a series of competitive games and practise a range of static positions, jumps and rhythmic techniques in Gymnastics.
In Computing we will be using the programme Scratch Junior to create own our dance algorithms. We will create a simple sequence of movements on the iPad app using our coding skills.
