We will then be moving on to look at Greek Myths with the story of Theseus and the Minotaur and adverts about 'Plastic Straw Strudels' and plastic pollution. We will also be looking at our use of grammar and spelling within each unit.

Year 3 PSHE

 

 

Here are the questions we will be considering in PSHE this year in Year 3. Firstly we will be looking at relationships-

What is my role in helping my school be a place where we can learn happily  and safely?  How can we build relationships in our class and how does this benefit me?  What does it feel like to be new or to start something new?  How can I help children and adults feel welcome in school?  What helps me manage a new situation or learn something new? Who are the different people in my network who I can ask for help?

And then moving on to build on work in year 2 about our emotions.

Why is it important to accept and feel proud of who we are? What does the word ‘unique’ mean and what do I feel proud of about myself? Why is mental wellbeing as important as physical wellbeing? How can I communicate my emotions? Can I recognise some simple ways to manage difficult emotions?  What does it mean when someone says I am “over reacting” and  how do I show understanding towards myself and others? How do my actions and feelings affect the way I and others feel?  How do I care for other people’s feelings? Who can I talk to about the way I feel?  How can I disagree without being disagreeable?

 

KEY INFORMATION 

 

Reading

Each week on a Friday, we collect in your child's reading diary. We would expect your child to have read at least four times each week. They are then able to move across the planets to become a Rocket Reader! 

 

Your child should record in their diary.

 

Times tables

By the end of year 4, your children will need to be able to recall multiplication facts for all tables up to 12 x 12 at speed. TTRockstars is a great way to support this.

 

 

Homework

Children are expected to spend time on Complete Maths weekly, achieving a minimum of one goal. Daily practice on TTRockstars and/ or Num Bots to support number fluency. Weekly Spelling homework will be set, these are not tested but are to support writing in class. Children should also be reading daily.
