Summer 2 Learning
Writing
In our literacy lessons, we will be exploring part of the text 'The Gardener' by Sarah Stewart.
We will continue to develop our writing skills through our sentence stacking lessons as we build up to our independent writing task.
Grammar, punctuation and spelling - KS2 English - BBC Bitesize
Reading
During our guided reading lessons this half-term, Year 3 will continue to analyse the non-fiction text 'My skin, Your Skin' by Lauran Henry-Allain and begin to analyse the poem 'Strict' by Michael Rosen.
In our lessons, we will be practising our reading fluency, understanding word meanings in context, summarising and answering retrieval questions. We will use our inference skills to zoom in closer as we look at themes, characters and events in the texts.

Maths
In Maths, we will be diving deeper into our 'measurement' knowledge to look at the topics of 'money' and 'time'. As we work through our topics, we will apply our mathematical knowledge to word problems. We are continuing to practise our times tables recall to ensure we are increasing in accuracy and speed.

RE
In our RE lessons this half-term, we will focus on what it means to be a Christian. We will look closely at Bible stories to help us to understand that Jesus teaches about helping others, and we will reflect on how we can help others in our lives. As a class, we will focus on on the importance of prayer and we will think about different ways of praying.
