Half Term Information Autumn 2 2024

Last term, in Year 3, we were studying deserts. We were thinking about the plants, animals and people that make this landscape their home. It was really interesting to discover that deserts are not only the dry, hot places we first thought of but also ice deserts or grass deserts! Our focus on meerkats for the book Meerkat Mail was really enjoyable, as was brought to life by writing our own fun versions of the story with handmade post cards enclosed as well. The children also wrote non-chronological reports on meerkats and other desert animals. In other areas of the curriculum, we enjoyed exploring skeletons of humans and other animals. We also enjoyed learning about nutrition and how to look out for the traffic light on food packages to make healthier choices. During our PSHE lessons, we also spent time to learn about emotions and how to deal with our little worries and discovered the amount of support around us. Our ICT lessons have not only taught us how to send emails but have also educated us about email and internet safety. Maths has been fun as we sang along and practiced our 2x,5x and 10x tables preparing us for our 3s, 4s and 8s.
