Welcome to Miss Myers' Class!
Summer Term!
We are now in the preliminary term before the next academic year. Maths: We are finishing of Multiplication and Division before we move onto Fractions, where our knowledge of times tables will support us. Year 3s are finishing off their multiplication and Division as well before moving onto money. To support us in our knowledge of times tables, we will be having a bi-weekly times table test. You can help yourselves by practicing your times tables at home on Times Table Rockstars or by writing them out yourself and asking your parent/carer to test you. Writing: In Writing we will be focusing on some Poetry linked to mining as well as a book called Town by the Sea. We will be covering a variety of styles within writing including letters, persuasive writing and stories.

You can use the Oxford Owl website to find books to read online as well as take a book home from school to read. Science: In science this term we will be focusing on Electricity. Through this topic, we will be focusing on a variety of things, including identifying common electrical components, constructing a simple electrical circuit and identifying why a circuit might not work.
