Year 3 - Orangutans
Welcome to Orangutans Class
Hello, I’m Melody and I am lucky enough to be teaching Orangutan’s class this year at Parklands Educate Together.
In Year 3, our curriculum is enriching, meaningful and active so that our children can become fully immersed in their learning. The children will learn through a series of well-planned and sequenced lessons to engage them in their broad range of learning opportunities.
This year in Orangutans, we are covering a variety of fascinating topics including:
· Term 1: Respecting Rainforests
· Term 2: Rotten Roman Britain
· Term 3: Coastal Characteristics
· Term 4: Weston’s Wonderful Piers
· Term 5: Wild Weather
· Term 6: Angry Aztecs
Please feel free to look at our topic web as it details the key learning points and vocabulary for our topics this term.
Pe day – Our Pe day this term is on a Wednesday.
Home learning is focused on spellings, developing a love for reading, independent research on our topic of the term, diary and creative writing independently, and times tables practices. Pupils will receive their new spellings on a Friday (sent out via email to parents/carers) and have one week to practice these before a test the following Friday.
All children have Times Tables Rockstars and Numbots logins for them to practice at home. This website, along with www.timestables.co.uk, allows them to be able to practice and improve their knowledge, accuracy and speed when working with times tables and number facts. This will ultimately help them when working through their maths topics in class.
