Welcome to back to Term 3

 Here are the topics we are covering in Term 3.

 Maths:

 We will be looking at: number facts, subtraction and addition. Measures of distance, metres and kilometres. Fractions. Lines of symmetry. Charts and graphs. (Help for all these are available at: (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/maths/ )

We have been looking at this fun game: http://www.ictgames.com/funkymum20.html

Here are some more good sites: http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/interactive/index.htm

 Literacy:

 In literacy we will be using our new storytelling skills (as seen during the Christmas production) to write our own ancient myth.

Here is a link to some of the myths we have been looking at in class http://myths.e2bn.org/mythsandlegends/

 Science:

Our science is all linked to materials and their properties. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/science/materials/

Our cross-curricular link is Hinduism and India, which we will be exploring through RE, Music, Geography and Art. Why not explore some Himalayan art? http://www.himalayanart.org/stories/e.cfm

French:

We will be learning how to describe the life cycle of the plant in French by listening, talking, creating art work and watching French cartoons!  The power point on this page shows exactly what we are learning and has sound too; http://year3french.wikispaces.com/6.2+Plant+life
