Autumn term 1 2025
The Iron Man by Ted Hughes
This term we are going to be reading The Iron Man by Ted Hughes.
Literacy
We will be studying our core text, ‘The Iron Man’. Children will have the opportunity to first learn the story, then they will be able to adapt it themselves. We will be looking at writing explanation text on how a robot dog moves to finish the term.
Maths
As mathematicians, we will focus on place value for the first three weeks then we will be moving onto addition and subtraction.
Science
We will be exploring Forces and Magnets this term. We will be looking at the strength of magnets and if the size of a magnet changes its strength.
Geography
This term we are looking at how and why places change. This includes looking at Lanner in the past and comparing it to the present. We will also be looking at drone footage of Lanner and London and we will be comparing the similarities and differences.
RE
this term in RE we are learning about the Christian creation story and about the creation and the fall of Adam and Eve. Towards the end of the unit we will be looking at how humans should treat the world and everything in it.
PE
Children will have two PE sessions each week – please make sure your child wears their PE kit into school every Wednesday and Thursday.
COMPUTING
The children will be learning to use chrome books, creating and storing documents on a cloud-based server.
MFL
Year 3 will continue with their French lessons this term. We will be focussing on the basic phonics of the French language to build a basic understanding of sounds using our scheme Language angels.
HOME LEARNING
In year 3, children need to read as much as possible. All children are expected to read at home most nights for 10 – 15 minutes either to themselves or with an adult. This could be their school reading book, listening to a story read by someone else or sharing a favourite book. All are equally valuable. All children have a reading record book in which parents, carers or the children themselves can record what they have read or make any comments.
In addition, children all have access to Times Tables Rockstars, an online site for practicing their times tables.
