Year 3 2018-19

Welcome to Year 3!

Welcome to Summer 2. We have an exciting but busy end to year 3 planned. This half term through our Geography topic we will be comparing Britain and Greece and weaving some of this content in to our writing. We will also be researching, designing and creating Greek structures in DT to link with this topic and completing our Ukulele lessons.

As usual we will continue to develop our mathematical understanding. Our topics for this half term will be properties of shape and measurement, mass and capacity. Questions will continue to be available for additional home practice. Concepts in the questions will have been covered in class.

For more information on what we will cover this half term, please see the medium term plan at the bottom of this page.

If you have any queries please contact me via the staff@deightongates.leeds.sch.uk email address.

Thank you

Mrs Gibson
