We will then be moving on to looking at non-chronological reports.
As Mathematicians this term you will be working with numbers up to 1000 and focusing on the value of each digit. Pupils will learn how to compose and decompose numbers, compare, order and look for patterns.
We will have fun with learning simple addition before moving on to addition with renaming. Subtraction will also be covered in a similar way before moving on to problem-solving questions and practice using bar models.
3A- Autumn 1 Maths
As Scientists this term we will be exploring the importance of a balanced diet. You will understand the nutrients that are needed for healthy growth and describe why exercise and hygiene play a vital role in development.
3A Autumn 1 Science
During Geography this term you will learn what Human and Physical features are. You will be able to identify the Human and Physical features of the capital cities of the UK. We will have fun using an eight point compass and locating cities of the UK on a map.

As Artists, you will be focusing on pencil control and how we can create different textures and lines. We will identify the illustrations created by Quentin Blake in our English novel this term of "The Enormous Crocodile". You will have the opportunity to use Digital Media as well as watercolours to create an illustration.

As Theologians this term we will be exploring the religion of Hinduism and focusing on why family is an important part of the religion. We will explore how Hindu's celebrate one of their festivals known as Raksha Bandan.

Autumn 2
We will be reading some Traditional Folk Tales, responding to them using prompts to help us, and identifying their features. Our key text is The Greenling by Levi Pinfold and we will use the plot pattern to write our own stories.
Following on from this fiction Unit, we will be learning how to write a first person recount in the form of a letter. We will read and analyse letters in order to plan our own versions based on the experience of William in the story The Night Gardener.
As Mathematicians, we will learn how to multiply and divide by 3, 4 and 8. We will then use our knowledge of multiplication and division to solve word problems. We will be able to decompose a number into tens and ones so that we can easily calculate the multiplication of two digit numbers in problems presented in different ways. We will learn to measure different items using centimetres, metres and kilometres. We will convert different units of measurement and compare different lengths. We will then use our mental and procedural skills to solve problems with the aid of the bar model method for visualisation.
