Autumn Term – NICER Curriculum Work
We are starting our term with a whole school Big Adventure which will run across three days! Children will be learning about different cultures and staff will be dressing up. Our challenge pack will run for the whole of the autumn term and our outcome will be to hold a festival to share our big multicultural adventure.
This term each class will be researching different countries. Year three will be focussing on India. Children will be looking at maps and locating where India is. They will also compare similarities and differences between towns and villages, researching religious buildings and exploring the sport of cricket!
English: We will be writing a letter, completing a dairy entry (based on our NICER related text Rama & Sita) and creating a set of instructions to prepare for the school annual Bake-Off competition.
Maths: Children will be extending their place value knowledge and deepening their reasoning and questioning skills.
P.E & Swimming: swimming will be on a Tuesday afternoon and their PE lesson will be Thursday afternoons.
Please ensure your child has a NAMED P.E kit in school throughout the week. If your child wears jewellery, please make sure they are not wearing it on Tuesday or Thursday. If you wish for your child to cover their earrings you must provide them with a plaster.
Homework: is linked to our NICER Challenge, children can choose which plate they would like to complete, home work information has been sent home but can also be found on the website here.
Every week your child will receive a set of spellings. They will be given out on Mondays please practise these with them as they will have a spelling test in school the following Monday.
Please read with your child, every day for at least 5 minutes. When reading with your child at home it would be great if you could encourage expression, tone and volume when reading aloud. Discussing the book your child is reading and comparing it to previous books will also support your child with their reading skills.
Please ensure your child brings their reading book and diary into school everyday!
Children will also be given a login for Timestable Rockstars and Mymaths which they can access online at home to continue with their maths.
