Autumn 2 - Week 1

Date: 6th Nov 2026 @ 9:18am

This week in Year 3 we have been busy with lots of exciting learning!

English

In English, we have been looking at fact files and identifying their key features. We explored how fact files are organised and learned about headings, subheadings, facts, diagrams and captions. This will help us when we begin creating our own fact files.

Maths

In Maths, we have been developing our skills in mental addition and estimating answers. We have been using our knowledge of number facts to solve calculations quickly and have been checking whether our answers are reasonable by making sensible estimates.

Topic

We have started our new Science mini project all about the human body and nutrition. We have begun learning about the different parts of the body and why it is important to have a healthy, balanced diet. We are looking forward to finding out more over the coming weeks.

RE

In RE, we have started learning about Christianity. We have been discussing objects that Christians may have in their homes and exploring what these objects symbolise and why they are important to believers.

Computing

In Computing, we have been learning how to send and respond to emails safely and appropriately. We discussed how email can be used to communicate and practised writing clear messages.

Reminders

• Homework is given out on a Monday and should be returned by the following Monday. Reading at least 3 times a week – signed in children’s reading diaries.
• Please ensure that iPads are charged at home each evening so that they are ready for learning the next day.

Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a lovely weekend!
