What We Are Learning About - Spring 1

In Religion, through the topic of Journeys the children will be learning about the Liturgical calendar. We will discuss the special celebrations that happen throughout the year and explain how they are celebrated. 

Maths

In Maths, we will be looking at Multiplication and Division. The children will learn how to multiply and divide by 3, 4 and 8. We will also be using formal methods for both operations so that the children know when to exchange.

Please send your child in their PE kit on the days they do PE. For Y3K this will be on a Monday and a Thursday. For Y3C it will be on a Monday and a Wednesday.

PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.

Homework will be given on Fridays to reflect the week’s learning, in Maths, spellings and handwriting. We recommend spending no more than 20 - 30 minutes on homework per night. Children will also practise spellings and take part in the Grand Spell each week.
