Hello and welcome to Year 3.

​

Topic

​

In the Rocks, Relics and Rumbles project, your child will learn about the different layers of the Earth, including plate tectonics and their potential effects on the Earth's surface. They will investigate different types of rock to learn about their uses and properties. They will also investigate soil and fossils, including learning about the work of Mary Anning. They will have the opportunity to use maps to learn about the lines of latitude and longitude and a compass to learn about the cardinal and intercardinal points. They will also learn about volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis and the long and short-term consequences that these can have.

​

HOMEWORK

​

Homework will be set each Friday on Purple mash or a paper copy will be sent home and needs to be completed by the following Wednesday. Your child will be shown what tasks have been set and how to complete them. Homework is an essential part of the curriculum and your support is appreciated

 

READING BOOKS

​

Books will be sent home every night and can be changed as soon as your child has finished reading it. Children need to have their Reading Record signed by an adult at least three times a week.

​
